Yep, I'll have my new shop at the Out Of Spec Track, and will still be repairing customer cars - though I'll be spending a bit more time of Out of Spec projects.

Yep, that's me!

I'm open to offers! Unfortunately Dala's project doesn't yet support the Lightning packs, but Mach-E is, so probably not a hug jump to get the Lightning working. Of course, it would have to have a suitably good module swapped in to be usable in that way... I have yet to find a source for...

I don't... But I do have a total of 4 Model S packs.

I've already done multiple upgrades!

This is a Standard Range battery pack out of a Ford F150 Lighting. This pack has about 144k mi on it, and has suffered from a cell failure in one of the 9 modules, but the other 8 are still in good shape. See pics for details. The good modules could be repurposed for stationary energy...

The onboard charger is a separate component from the battery. You wouldn't be able to run this as a "functional" pack with a module removed, so it's really a "parts only" unit where the good modules can be paired up with an aftermarket BMS and used for whatever 2nd life application you desire...

Each module is 10S (or 37v nominal), and 11.95kWh gross (probably closer to ~10.5-11kWh usable). You could stack as many as you want in series or parallel depending on your inverter's input voltage. Of course, you'd have to set up a BMS to keep the cells in balance, and prevent them from being...

My new shop space will be at the track facility!

Best tool in the shop, forklift!

Impossible to say... The Lightning seems at first impressions to have a pretty "simple" BMS system, but I don't know the specifics on how sensitive it is to certain things. However if there's a significant chemistry change, then working around BMS limitations could be a real challenge...

Howdy folks! Alex from the video here, happy to answer any questions. I see that Thomas has already chimed in here, haha. But yeah, about 3 hours of labor for a typical swap (assuming the connectors aren't damaged as they were in this case). Cost of the pack itself is going to vary a bit...
