Looking for used Lithium Batteries

I fully agree with @zsde Currently one cannot even buy 15/16 cells for the price of a complete battery with BMS and a new warranty.

Yes I also checked prices for 105ah prismatic cells. They are expensive than buying a prebuilt unit.

But some of them have been built with second life cells and offers 1 year warranty. It works out better if one buys grade A 280ah cells from China, however the cost of shipping them just spoils the party.

That's why I opted to look for used batteries.

Got some 280Ah cells a few months ago from apexium . 108 dollars a cell shipped to your door from the local warehouse.

Wholesale prices for LFP cells in China have dropped by more than 50% since 1 Jan 2023 (currently below $50/kWh).

We are seeing some of that reflecting in local battery prices, but due to the long supply chain it is only happening slowly.  Certainly a lot more to come, so if you can, wait.

It is a bad particularly time to be shopping for 2nd hand batteries - most sellers have not caught on to the fact that battery prices have come down and as a result are asking for prices based on what they had paid.
