Building a 500 cell NiMH battery pack, 15 Ah @120V?



I was toying around with what it would take to
build a 1.8 KWh (15A @ 120V for 1 hour) battery
pack. So far I'm at around 500 AA 3,000 mAh
batteries, but how to connect them up? I bet
that 5 x 100 cell series sets in a 5-wide parallel
array wouldn't work, where does one start with
something like this? I don't have a particular
project in mind, well, maybe, but this is more
of a mental workout.
