Hello fellow DIY'ers.
I have discarded all cells that test below 1000mAh. I give away 1000-1400, and use them for odds and ends around the house. I am keeping the few 1800+ mAh cells that I have harvested.
What remains is SEVERAL HUNDRED cells that have tested capacities between 1400 and 1800 mAh. I thought I'd make a post here, to see if there's any local (NZ) interest in buying them.
I'm thinking between $1/cell for low volume (under 50?) down to 50c/cell for higher volume (I have hundreds).
All cells tested at 500mA on my Opus's. All charging was handled by iSDT chargers (with tiny help from an Xtar queen ant, as needed). All heaters and self-dischargers have been discarded.
Pickup is very welcome, they're all with me in the WELLINGTON area. I have no experience with shipping lithium, so if you want them shipped, it would be appreciated if you had a viable option for us to use.
This thread (and my PM's) will be checked every day this thread is open, so you won't have to wait long for replies from me.
This offer is ideal for those that want to make small-ish packs, and for those that dont want to invest the time and equipment (and bandaids!) needed to harvest cells themselves. Also a great way to get started while you are sourcing cells to process yourself. Thanks for reading.
