D batteries are what they use in some of the electric vehicles as I
recall. Some 300 of them

Or was it 3000?

You believe everything you read? Here is a quote from your very own Cite:

"Its operating temperature range is -30C degrees ~ +60C degrees."

I can tell you (but you won't listen) that if you operate that battery
at anywhere near 10 degree or less in F, well above the -30C rating, you
will be damaging your battery on a daily basis. This is why Tesla
includes a battery heating blanket and an Air Conditioner for it's
battery compartment. Otherwise, you have cells that are going to be
damaged until, one day, you won't be able to get to the local quick stop
and back.
