Sure a sale is a sale, but if it doesn't make a business money then it is invested capital that could be used for better things - like nice batteries or new vehicle conversions.

Speaking as a business owner, I wouldn't touch those packs as resale material with a 1000 foot pole. Sure I may buy a few myself, but the consistency of construction and known overrated cells totally turns me off.

Would you be willing to pay twice as much? That is about what it would cost to cover the shipping, industry margins, and VAT fees from importation in mass. Then you still have a crappy Zippy lipo.
