I suspect panels are going to be a harder sale these days with the 25% tax rebate on new panels available. Unless someone is looking for the specific panels to match with an existing setup, you'd need to drop prices quite a bit on used panels, and/or include all the mounting hardware/etc..

ALL SOLD.

ALL SOLD.

My assumption is that the outlier (98AH) was weak to start with. When I originally purchased them I didn't have the tools to test the capacity, so I trusted what they were sold as (~120AH). Given they were 2nd life already, I doubt this was the case, and they were definitely NOT matched cells. You're also missing the extra 6AH in your calcs, as this is what a manufacturer will test to. I only tested down to the typical low-voltage cutoff (2.9v ea, i.e., ~47v). I did test a bunch of them down to 2.5v (incl. the outlier which has 104AH) and they all had an extra 6-7AH extra, which puts them all much closer to the original 120AH. Regarding the cycle count, that's what the Victron BMV reported. I don't actually know how it counts cycles, but I suspect it resets at 100%, and I didn't always cycle to 100%, and would sometimes cycle between 60 and 80% for instance. This was part of an ESS setup, in a 16s2p config, so there's no reason for the cells to be loaded differently aside from their different internal resistances and mismatched nature of 2nd life cells.

They were charged with bench PSUs and used one of these to check capacity: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000479624068.html.

They are originally LBSA 2nd life cells. IIRC they were 135AH cells in their first life being sold as 120AH 2nd life cells. I have no idea how they were used in their 1st life, but my assumption is EV/golf carts/etc..

ALL SOLD. Item: 32 x 2nd life LifePo4 ~110AH (+ SS grub screws, spring washers, nuts, al busbar) Age: 2.5y Price: R750 ea.

Combo deals can be discussed. Cell dimensions: 175mm x 170mm x 50mm These cells were in daily use for around 2.5 years. When I dismantled the packs, I had put 480 cycles on them per my Victron Smart BMV. They behaved well once I ironed out the kinks, and I only needed to top balance the packs once over this time. Cell A16's negative terminal was stripped, so I ended up using a large self tapping bolt. None of the other cells have completely stripped terminals, but there are a few that have partially damaged threads. I received the cells like this, which is why I ended up going with M6 grub screws that I could bottom out in the threads. There are also a few terminals with short threads, i.e., the manufacturer didn't tap them to a consistent depth, so there's a couple that have 1 or 2 turns less to bottom out than the rest. On dismantling, I charged every cell up to 3.6v and did a capacity test @ 20A to 2.9v with the following results (2.9v -> 2.5v is around 6ah additional): Cell Capacity (AH) A1 109 A2 107 A3 107 A4 98 A5 103 A6 108 A7 111 A8 108 A9 110 A10 110 A11 111 A12 108 A13 108 A14 109 A15 111 A16 111 B1 110 B2 108 B3 113 B4 110 B5 111 B6 114 B7 112 B8 108 B9 109 B10 114 B11 110 B12 109 B13 109 B14 111 B15 109 B16 111

You don't need to amend the lease, you can just add an addendum to it, signed by both parties, which supercedes whatever problematic clauses are in the lease. It should be noted that a landlord can't simply enrich themselves at the tenants expense, i.e., take ownership of tenant property or improvements the tenant may have made. I'd imagine the clause that allows this would not be legally enforceable (IANAL).

bump R1500 Just note the aliexpress link shows a different BMS because the shop updated their product page and failed to preserve the old one.
