So after rebuilding my Gen. 2 HV battery, I've got a box of 23 decent modules, and I can't get rid of them, even with a much cheaper price that the rest of the ones listed on these sites. Ebuy and Crogslost have only helped me sell one! If I can't sell these things, which is looking like the likely outcome, how should I recycle these things?
Easy solution... Find a Prius battery re builder, they usually have piles of chassis with all the compnents needed except the battery modules. They'll often give these away or charge $40 for 'em. Then buy 5 used modules and boom, you got yourself a rebuilt pack that you can loan to friends or sell to get your money back... An example of why they're so hard to individually sell: The first time I bought a used module on Ebay I tried to buy the best one I could find and it died after 4 miles, very upsetting. Then I found a professional re-builder with $30K in testing equipment and ever since the replacement modules are always the best ones in the pack..
