order batteries

Step 19:  Order batteries.  This gets its own step.  A lot of the money in this car will be in its batteries.  I chose to order directly from CALB (China Aviation Lithium Battery) because they have a presence in California and my friend had met the salesman there a few years ago.  They had them in stock stateside and are packaging them up right now!  I'm getting 30 of the CA180FI cells.  It's going to be a very nice battery.
