    Class 00 HV safety gloves, cat III dvom, inch pound torque wrench, - that's pretty much it for special gear.

    Well, that was a complete waste of time. Was led to a sketchy makeshift scrapyard with a dozen or so wrecked cars, and the guy refused to open the battery case so I could check the serials on the modules. Even insisted there were no serials because "it's all one battery." I skedaddled right quick after that.

    Yea, people are sketched out / ignorant about HV battery packs... Only time I've been able to look under the cover is if I'm not being watched over. So what you buy is kind of like gambling. Some day I'm gonna win the jack pot and pull a pack that's only a few years old! :)

    Myself and my friends would very much like to visit this place and buy some packs. I'll message you for details...
