I don't know whether they're still available, but at one time Valence offered U-Charge batteries, drop-in LiPo retrofits for various sizes of marine batteries. Supposedly they had electronics that "translated" a lead battery charger's profile to what the lithium needed. A few Solectria Force owners bought them. They were discussed a little on the Solectria Yahoo group. They required mighty deep pockets. When I priced out group 24 modules, they were $1500 each. A 144v 100ah pack would have cost $18,000.
