Hi Power Punk
BYD does not warrant any of those batteries and there is Statement issued by BYD, I do recommend you check with your supplier. good luck!
 

I understand that word can have negative connotations, I meant merely that you have stated publicly that these batteries don't have your blessing, something that I understand perfectly, for exactly the reasons you have mentioned.

Hi @plonkster
 
Thanks for your feedback, there are many studies done on 2nd life batteries, BYD is not "disassociate" with 2nd batteries but rather looking on how to cycle the batteries in fair and justify ways. Because we don't have enough data and suitable application, we are not launching these batteries until we are satisfied with the application. 2nd life batteries need to be disassembled and repack after each cell is examed and tasted, making sure each cell are still healthy! Bare in mind each battery (cell) bank from each EV is entirely different, when mixing two, three or four different battery (cell) bank from different EV, that where the disaster will happen. One thing for sure is it not suitable for deep cycling and it's not for longer than three years, there is a reason why we call it "end" of the cycling life.
There are ways one can track 2nd life batteries' source with the reputable brand, however, there are companies purchase these 2nd life cells and rebrand them with lower cycle life. Unless the company produce their own cell,  it's untraceable and the end customer is paying for it.

What, the masters of reverse engineering complain about copyright . Lol

@seant,
I think that statement by BYD is testament to the value BYD themselves place on their own reputation as a quality manufacturer.
Just think about it, when was the last time you heard of a Chinese company complaining of copyright infringement?
Something must be really wrong.

initially the nokia phone i had was made in nokia, finland - now that microsoft have taken over, it is made in china... some of our meat comes from south america, jam from israel [kosher ] and my sweetener from the czech republic and my salvation from the Lord 🙌
 

EDIT, OBVIOUSLY MY POST HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BYD THING - JUST A SORT OF 'VAN DIE OS OP DIE JAS'...

Folks show me stuff that isn't made in China or at least containing chineese components, come on . In the 80's remember the saying jap crap , and now cheap chineese. And now perceptions are the products from Japan are of a somewhat higher quality. But then I guess you really have to do a bit of digging cause you do get some really bad products and some good stuff too. In the case of the new BDY or the second life units it's just that one has been used and thus the cheaper price. As for value I don't think the price justifies the second life units.

Hi Guys
Just like to clarify some about the 2nd life batteries. BYD 2nd life batteries were never intended for sale.  After the batteries have reached the "end" of the "cycle life" from BYD electric vehicle, these batteries were only meant for research and educational purpose in China.  These batteries have gone through a 3rd/4th/5th party to bypass the distribution checks without we even know about it. 
BYD doesn't have any research data or study on the 2nd batties. Therefore, any data that is given by anyone claim to be is a false statement.  New batteries are 6000 cycles, 100% DOD and 10-year warranty and 2nd life batteries with "end" of cycle life are selling similar spec? I think the maths is simple.
As the most reputable international company in Energy section, we do not sell something is might cause harm or financial problem to our customers. But, we can't stop people from buying something they think there are buying, you might be paying a lot more then you think at the end of the day.
We like to thank customer that is support us and understood BYD is outperforming in terms of real-life performance, price and lifespan.
Because of your support, we will have better pricing soon.
I have attached the statement issued by BYD, and I apologise for the trouble some may have experienced.
If you are interested in distributing BYD products, please contact me.
Thank you
