Found a 48v 680ah forklift battery pack for $830. It's 8 years old, all cells measure close to 2v, wasn't able to test with hygrometer, but fluid levels are all good. Would you guys take a gamble on them for an off grid solar setup? It weighs 2765lbs and would be a bit of a pain to move, but I can do it. I could always scrap it for $415 so it's not a huge gamble, but still I might be better off going Lifepo4, although I couldn't afford nearly as much capacity. How much capacity do you all think they'd have left? I could only do 50% DOD right?
Thanks for any input.
