My nickel metal hydrate battery has been sitting for seven years and was spitting fire when I applied a charger . This thing looks like a bomb and almost became one . The battery was built from junkyard ford hybrid cells . This new battery must weigh sixty pounds which will power a thirty six volt system . The battery compartment has a ten inch diameter opening . Thank you could appreciate some help .

There are several companies that build replacement lithium batteries but that does sound big and heavy. Might be best to modify/reduce the body length to compensate for a lighter battery.
