Hey guys!
My names Alex. I hope I'm posting this in the right section (Admins please don't delete).
Im a software engineer by profession and a DIY powerwall enthusiast in my spare time. With the communitys help Ive managed to build a few powerwalls using recycled 18650 cells. Thank you all for your help and guidance!
While working on these projects, and also following the progress of some of the other members here, Ive noticed theres an acute need for a reliable source of genuine Li-ion batteries. It seems that every time I have to buy cells online its a gamble. I can never be certain that what I receive matches what was advertised; unfortunately its tough to find reliable sellers that offer consistent quality batteries.
:idea: This got me to thinking that an online marketplace that specializes in quality Li-ion batteries could benefit the community. Ive already started working on a website that will offer a review based rating system for all sellers AND products, as well as a secure payment gateway. With the communitys help, it could become the go-to destination for buying/selling (new and used) Li-ion batteries.
Here are some of the features that Ive started to develop:
Sellers:
Buyers:
Thanks!
Alex
