I got 140 pounds of batteries from Battery Hookup for $136 which comes out to only $14 per kWh of power!!! I am averaging about 100 batteries per 10 pound order each time I buy from them in bulk.

I pay only $8.50 for 10 pounds of random flat pack (pouch) batteries and $17.00 for 10 pounds of random 18650 batteries.
So far I am getting very good results with the batteries from them. My last couple orders are turning out like new in capacity.
This batch is mostly full of Amazon Kindle batteries and some Samsung batteries.
The box of 18650 batteries was a huge score with a lot of 100 of the same batteries plus a mess of random ones. Just with these alone it comes to about 34 cents each but there are also the other mixed batteries in the box so I figure maybe 20 - 30 cents each.
My first box of flat packs gave me over 420 batteries. I lost count at 420 so I figure 430 to 450 in a 40 pound box of random, mixed batteries. That comes out to only $0.08 per battery!!!
You cant beat this deal. And I am having so much fun working with these.
Watch for part two. I have two more boxes to open.
