October 26, 20205 yr I've recently replaced my 12v 200AH gel batteries with pylontechs One was bad but the other 3 are still serviceable. I gave one to a family member to run a TV in loadshedding but still have 2 good ones that I'm loathe to just hand in for their scrap value. I don't have any use for them that I can think of. Any suggestions?
October 27, 20205 yr Author They're about 4 years old. No idea of current rating but they seem fairly capable still.
November 1, 20205 yr Get a small panel and pwm charge controller and use it to power a pump for a fountain/water feature or some kind of automatic drip system or a bunch of twinkle lights in the garden? Replace the battery in your PC's UPS? Use as a second battery in your car boot and install a killer subwoofer or a mini fridge?
November 1, 20205 yr The price of old batteries is based on their scrap value. So you do a calculation and work from there. Fortunately lead acid batteries have a great scrap value as opposed to Li-Ion which cannot be recycled here in SA..
