    Has anyone disassembled a Smart Fortwo Battery for cells

    I got 330 cells. The are naked cells so I need to make sure they are not touching. Or I need to get heat shrink. I am thinking of building either a 13s or 14s pack.

    Here is the bike with the super nice lead acid pack. My neighbor was throwing it out. So far I have only invested about $600 (including the $300 for the pack I am disassembling) in the bike.

    So I have stared the deconstruction of the battery pack. They did NOT want this thing to come apart. Each battery is glued into the trays on both ends. So far the best way I have found to extract them is one or two at a time. Make sure you are ready for a lot of work if you embark on a project...

    Has anyone disassembled a Smart Fortwo Battery for cells

    So I am now the proud owner of a Smart ForTwo battery pack. Seemed like a great deal to get some good cells for cheap. I was wondering if anyone has any experience breaking one of these open.
