18 LFP40AHA cells

I have them sitting on my desk in front of me right now with 17 connected in series and when I measure 4 in a row I get 13.4 volts. I also have done a few discharge cycles on a couple of cells and find that they hold their voltage pretty steady for most of their capacity if you don't draw too many amps out of them.
How much did you pay for them because I am very interested in these battery's for my unbelted swift...
