For LiFePO4 the current limit is typically the Amp-hour rating or a small
multiple of it, ...
---------------------------
Which means that a 12V, 100Ah LiFePO4 could ideally power a 1.6 HP motor for 
an hour. 16 of them in the BMS maximum 4S4P configuration equals 25HP. I had 
such an engine in a Beetle, whose 0-60 time was 15 minutes while the tranny 
oil warmed up.

That was a good excuse to avoid the Autobahn and instead wander through 
picturesque little villages on service calls. At the time the Autobahn was a 
squareish loop around the edges of Bavaria and cutting across diagonally was 
nearly as quick, plus a Jeep or Army truck wasn't much faster and I couldn't 
leave them parked outside a Gasthaus overnight.
