Default Spare sticks to Australia and New Zealand

Hi,

how much would you charge for used Gen 1 battery sticks to be sent to Australia and/or New Zealand?

Do you grade the sticks in some way, like Ah capacity at 32A (or 6A, 0.6A) or IR or some other yardstick?

Can you supply poor, medium and/or good quality sticks?

Mr. Mik,

I'd advise you to wait a little bit. We're testing new (non-Panasonic/Sanyo) cells, and if they work well, we'll be making them available to the NZ crowd and Patrick Phan in particular.

But yes, I have every flavor of stick you could imagine. Contact me directly via email.

Thank you!

I do not require any sticks myself at the moment, because I have 3 cars and 7 batteries and have not even finished testing them all.

After a couple of false starts I now have two cars running beautifully and a grid charger and connecting harness that is safe, effective and easy to use.

I just wanted to show clearly to other NHW10 owners that replacement sticks are indeed easily available, some of them seem to be stuck with the assumption that one cannot get any replacement sticks.

Nice photo!

The pile has grown. This isn't all of them.

Enough to hybridize a few hill-riding semi trucks, if they were still good.

Glad to see your floor is still handling the weight.

I was wondering about the weight on the floor myself. You may find that stack in the basement.

WHOA!

I counted them all, you have 2140 sticks in the 2nd picture. So do I win a new battery pack if the count is right?

That is about 100 battery packs there Ron, you sure have been a busy little battery gatherer... Thats about enough to power your house for a month!!!

I would almost be worried that the ones on the bottom will get crushed and leak electrolyte?
