Item Wanted: Looking for an old, or stripped Mecer Second Life LIFEPO4 battery... need to find two pouch cells to replace two of cells that have died in my DIY pack (48v)

Packaging Essential: I will take what I can get...

Desired Age: If it has more than 3v on a load, its better than what I have!

Location: Preferrably Durban, but beggars can't be chosers...

Willing to accept a shipped item: Yes

Ballpark/Budget Amount: I have no idea what the rate for a used pouch cell would be... You let me know what you want for it!

 

Basically my DIY 48v battery pack has died due to two of the cells hitting low voltage on any load (I am using a MaYi-BMS). So would love to try replace the pouch cells and see if I can get some more life out of this thing... Don't really want to buy a new/ secondhand battery if I can keep mine going a bit longer! My battery was created using 4 12v 200 Ah Mecer batteries... 

I am open to any other suggestions right now as well 😅

Soooo... No old Mecer batteries (with pouches) gathering dust anywhere?? 🙈

Well, it has been a year since I posted this... So may as well try again.

Anyone have a old, non-working mecer pouch cell battery? Want to try replace the cells on one of my batteries which failed...

Can I ask you a favour. Would you please post some pics of the cells as I have 2 similar batteries.

Which area in SA do you stay.

Hi Scorp007!

Sorry I missed this response completely...

So firstly, thanks for responding .

I have attached a few images of the puch cells. They still in their 'banks' and all connected up, so not the easiest to send just a single cell. But hope this helps?
