I think we all wonder when you're going to give up here trying to unload those cells. I doubt if many here would take them for free.
I'd use them myself for a solar solution. They have many years of good life left in them for a solution like that! Even partly used they are a far superior option to even brand new lead/acid batteries! Problem is, I rent and I would need to build a lot of other infrastructure around the cells that wouldn't be removable if/when I leave. IF I owned the house I live in, you can be sure these batteries would NOT be up for sale to anyone! I'd be using them myself!!! That's just one of many uses for them.
It's SAD that so many people are incapable of getting past their bias for perfect cells to see these still have value for lots of applications! All those people out there dismissing them are going to be in the same situation eventually. Your so called "perfect cells" are aging right now. What will you do when you are in the same situation as myself? I'm betting that there is at least one person that dismissed my listing that is right now running on cells in poorer shape than mine are in! I'm betting all you people when you can't use your current pack in your EV's anymore won't be dismissive like you are with me. You'll be trying to sell them or finding a use for that still mostly useful investment! You all think what I'm doing here is a waste of time and stupid and even get hostile about it! Feel free to put your feet in my shoes and see HOW you will respond when you too are in the exact SAME situation as myself!!!
You CAN BE SURE...you will be in the exact same situation as myself soon enough! You too will be unwilling to "just toss out" that many thousand dollar investment! You too will find yourselves with the passel of dismissive nay sayers and judgy people telling you to go die in a battery fire! I will not be among them being mean and nasty like I have experienced! BUT, you will certainly be "in my shoes" on that day!
