The equivalent of about 45 kWh lead acid.

I'm thinking about buying 4 tesla model s modules.  Each is 6kw and little maintenance, can be discharged 80%, but $5k is hard to part with.

I'm not sure I see the attraction of tesla modules. $5K for 6kWh ??
I've just bought 112 x 200AH 3.2V cells. For comparative purposes, $5K gets 16kWh of LFP.
