2 sticks have 14.4V.
If they used for a bike, they will get charged probably up to 13-13.5V.
Bike needs 2 or 4 sticks. I am sure 15" sticks can be taken apart.
Lithium rechargeable batteries can be bought in Walmart.
Are batteries like that for sale? I mean batteries ready to install.

The lead acid battery on my daily ride (Z1R) is 10 years old and still going strong.
The Shorai Lipo that I bought for my 900 café lasted 80 miles.

If cell is 1.2V, it can't be Lithium it has to be nickel metal hydride cell. The size, weight, and power density of Ni-MH is not for bikes. The battery size would be too large and heavy.car5car wrote: I took apart battery from Honda Insight. Battery has 20 long sticks, each stick has 6 D batteries 1.2V.
