CALB 100Ah and 180Ah LiFePO4 cells?

http://www.calbusainc.com/se-series/

I have an opportunity to buy some USEDSE series cells and I was wondering what type of price I should consider for used cells?

Still trying to get details from the seller, but they might be the 100Ah or 180Ah cells.

really all depends on how used they are. For near perfect cells (capacity and voltage hold)
new ones are about $250 https://evsource.com/collections/calb

In Germany new big prismatic LiFePO cells cost between 1.00 and 1.50 EUR per Ah, that's 1.23 to 1.85 USD per Ah. Check your local prices so you know what price you should consider. Used cells should be cheaper obviously. Depends on how used they are.

Price depends on there life and how much capacity is left. Test that before buying.

I have looked into new calb and other prismatic cells as well here in the U.S. One thing to take into consideration is the shipping cost ...so far what I have found is the shipping quotes are really high ..

I got 16-100 ah fortune cells for 2468$ delivery to Colorado In November.

Going from the spec sheet - SE are 60Ah or 180Ah or 200Ah.

For the SE180 the energy capacity is quoted as 576Wh per cell.
Cycle life quoted for the CA series is 2000 cycles at 80% DoD at 0.3C.
So new you would expect a cell to be able to pass a total of 921kWh of energy (0.576 x 0.8 x 2000).

Take your $/kWh electricity price you would pay to store energy and then multiply it by 921 and this is your price level.

e.g. If I though I only want to pay $0.05/kWh to store and draw power from my battery pack then I would only pay $46.08 per cell. and that is if they were new.... for a $0.05/kWh storage cost...

Depending on age and use they could have 200 or 1800 cycles left.... makes a massive difference to the price.

Calendar life is also something to consider, have the cells been float charged for 5 years without a single deep discharge...

I have been trying to find Fortune batteries for months, with the hope I can get some delivered to Australia. Can someone please give me some contact details?
