Thank you for your advice. Can you give me some links about battery packs consisting of LiFePO4 cells that could fit to my case?
I am still early in my research and most of my interest lies in solar storage at the moment rather than EV conversion. Many of the parts and pieces are very similar, however. After searching for a while at solar oriented parts, I began looking at using EV parts and possibly crashed EVs as a good starting point.
In any case, you can look at:
LiFePO4 Batteries
to get an idea. I started sifting through Alibaba for Chinese suppliers also and there are many possibilities, but I have no experience with any of them.
There are a number of people that build their own battery packs from cells. I found their construction techniques to be quite suspect, especially in a situation where I might be strapped into a vehicle that can burn.
This video, for example, shows the construction of an A123 module for EVs you would actually want:

There are a number of places and videos that can provide the A123 cells (or similar) all over the internet, but EV specific modules is much harder.

Leaf's battery packs are technically lithium manganese but between Nissan/Renault and the LG Chem cells made for the Chevy Volt/Ford Focus EV, there may not be a readily available module made for EV situations available. Most of the rest are motorcycle or scooter batteries and in some cases, solar storage.
