    It clearly look like you have not do any deep research about the price and condition of the used modules out there but it’s ok I save you the work, so this what my research comes out to: $32.95 free shipping module will give a already reconditioned module with 90 days warranty (2ndlifebattery) for $46 plus shipping you can get it from hybrid automotive (they will match year and miles) one year warranty, now something like yours $35 and not warranty not tested got not chance I will suggest you to offer warranty or drop you price to under $20 dollars and best luck for you.

    Ahem....please allow me to help with this....

    To a trained eye, one may notice the location of the serial number on the top of the modules designates very late model and they appear to have a T in the year position. If in fact it is a "T", do you know what that means? It means that module was manufactured in 2018. Do you think it needs 'reconditioning"? Those modules, "as-is" are better than ANY reconditioned, tested, guaranteed, etc you're going to get for 30 bucks on ebay. You can take that to the bank.

    If he were to advertise them on ebay with a detail photo of the serial number, he may get considerably more than 35 bucks each. If you know what you're looking at, you would recognize these as a bargain. Someone could probably buy the whole lot at a negotiated 800 or so and build a battery that would last until the year 2030.

    Untested modules from a known bad battery are literally worthless. How do I know that the module I get from you will not be one of the few that took the whole battery down? That just does not make sense. You need to at least try to test them or offer an exchange policy of some sort in case some unlucky buyer receives THE bad module. Just my $0.02.

    The only test tool that I have is a multimeter. I can say that most are at least 7 volts. If you would like me to send readings for all modules I can do that.

    I do not need any modules at the moment. Just trying to help you from a potential buyer's point of view. You replaced your battery because it was no longer working in the car (I assume). That means that some or all modules in the battery you are parting out are bad. Do you really feel right charging for unknown modules? I, as a buyer would pass right over your offering as it stands now. If you can not properly test the modules, I reckon you should not be offering them for sale. Just my thoughts. Obviously you are free to do as you see fit.

    Totally agree, but looking Berch point of view, it doesn’t work that way about it’s newer it’s better, when someone it’s rebuilding a pack they can’t just replace a 12 years old module with a 3 years old one that doesn’t go to work any better than a older module equally as the one that come out, professional seller like Jeff at hybrid automotive ask you for year and miles of the car but I guess no everyone understands how a pack get properly rebuild.

    Well then, I rescind my previous post and Post #2 is 100% accurate...... It is a grave error to use photos of 2018 modules when you're selling ones that are actually 2007. Many people, myself included will purchase items based on photos since many sellers don't know or don't care what they actually have and just want to get rid of it.. I have bought Gen 2 and Gen 3 HV batteries that were advertised as original, yet were only 2 years old. A couple years ago, I may have purchased the entire lot of 28 since the photo shows they are 2018. If I'd have received a bunch of 2007, I would have had a real problem with it.
