Re: (ET) BB600 NiCds - closeout!



If I had space I'd take more. They're good and with the interconnectors they are useful.

I wonder: Does anyone have the big rear battery box? I'd love to ride with 60 of them in the back instead of 30.

Also I found my Elec-trak edger came in handy this weekend to edge some tough vines. Was a bit slow at first till the grease woke up, does anyone know how to take the gearbox apart to re-grease it?

I am still looking for a home for these nickel-cadmium batteries!  Make me an offer and save them from the recycler!

These are BB600 flooded Nickel-Cadmium batteries from an electric car project.  They are from John Lussmeyer's government surplus group buy. These cells tolerate cold and deep discharge, and last a very long time. I have been running my E-15 on 60 of them for many years; Chris Zach also uses them in his tractor.

The cells are assembled with nickel-plated interconnects into 9-cell blocks and packed 2 blocks to a box; I have 7 boxes.

They are all in Ithaca, NY; I may be able to deliver to Albany NY, Burlington VT, or other nearby points.

The tech manual for these is here:
