lol im guessing a shitton, they're usually just a ton of cellphone or 6cell r/c battery packs soldered together into one giant battery, and if you consider the cost of just a single one, that's a TON of money, I'd assume you'd just wanna trade that car in at the halfway mark to be safe and give the probs to someone else
