Escape Hybrid PHEV kit?

Re: Escape Hybrid PHEV kit?
The $2000+ Enginer kit used an assembly of Li-on batteries, not 12V lead-acid AGM batteries boosted to 330V.
But I see now that Enginer's website no longer lists a FEH application anyway so the market for aftermarket FEH PHEV kits is probably dead. Guess we'll be enjoying the new Ford C-Max Energi or other new PHEVs like the Mitsubishi Outlander instead.

What do you think guys of creating a lead-acid battery bank , consists of 27 batteries * 12 volts connected in serial (10 amps/each ) , that will give us around 330 volts ( 3.22 Kwh power ), and connecting this bank in parallel to my Ford 2009 existing system, Do you think this will work ? what side effects may occur ? is the escape battery management system will deal with this ? are those batteries going to be charged through the attraction (braking) and normal engines charging ? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated ....

This kind of batteries is used for UPSs inside homes and offices , and each one weight less than 4 pounds , that means around 100 pound , they are long life (around 5 years ) , and deep cycle , which means they can hold continues charge / discharge up to 80 % ... and costs around 600 $ only ... for these reasons I think they are good stuff to think of ... and as I read they have been used for PHEV but did not find any reference so far ...

I noticed Enginer appears to still be in business, but I have no idea how much their kits cost. How much would the most basic kit set me back? A 2kWh kit? How about 8kWh? I don't make a lot of money tbh.
