Improving the battery with "few dollars" relay(s)?

Hi,

In another thread it was presented the idea to use relay(s) in the battery.

And it was confirmed as feasible.


Just curious:

How many cells will be required?

How many relays will be used?

What kind of relay would be used?

What´s the maximum current in the contacts? 300 A, 1000 A?

Where the relays could be located?

What will be the case volume required to have the proper relay(s)?

They would remain energized in normal condition? (N.O. or N.C.) ?

The relay coil source will come from where?

The MTBF of the relay(s) were considered? (compared to the cell MTBF)

Few dollars means less than ten, Right?

Could someone indicate one supplier of the selected relay costing "few dollars".

The battery with "relays" how much will cost, typically?

Final question:

With the use of relay(s) what´s the objective? To improve the battery?
