I used same as original li-iron-po4 cells, ebay has everything
Cells cost around 400 to rebuild two batteries, so it is twice cheaper than in your case, although you didn't mess with disassembling, welding etc.
My batteries were completely dead, so I wouldn't be able to sell them
Dorrington, can you share the technology, how did you replace individual cells?
First of all, what I found - it's extremely hard to extract them out of the case and not damage some on the sides (they are glued in, heat gun helps but still brute force involved).
Next, batteries are glued together with epoxy, and very well spot welded on both sides - you definitely won't be able to reuse that metal plates, and more likely will damage cells when removing plates. But maybe Dorrington found better way.
