| Used cells are often available for a fraction of the price of new cells. With thorough testing you can build packs with very similar reliability and characteristics as new cells. | Used cells are often available for a fraction of the price of new cells.

| - | HSBNE Battery Recycling Program (HSBNE Porthack) - we've partnered with an undisclosed (NDA in place) company that is a reliable source of used power tool batteries. Most of the cells we get from this source come in the original power tool plastic case and the cells/BMS need to be stripped out and separated. The most common cells we find are Samsung 25R and a mixture of Sony VTC2 or Sony VTC5(a). Please contact Jaimyn (@jabelone) or Lucas (@badbiki) if you'd like cells from this source. We receive on average about 1.5kWh per week and this amount must be shared between members who are interested in cells at the time. | + | HSBNE Battery Recycling Program (HSBNE Porthack) - we've partnered with an undisclosed (NDA in place) company that is a reliable source of used power tool batteries.

| [[https://substation33.com.au/|Substation 33 (Logan)]] - they have an 18650 recycling program. Almost all of their cells come from laptop battery packs so these are more suitable for low powered applications like power banks and larger capacity or lower draw DIY power walls. I think for small amounts they may give them to you, but for larger amounts you may have to pay. Mention you're a HSBNE member and they will look after you. | [[https://substation33.com.au/|Substation 33 (Logan)]] - they have an 18650 recycling program.
