Hi all.

A friend has the buck$ to pay for a Plug-in conversion of a 2008 FEH.
The stock pack will need to be totally removed.
The original battery has only ~1500 miles on it and is in "like new" condition.
( maybe better than new since it has been "conditioned". )

Is anyone interested in buying this stock FEH pack?
New ones cost something like $7000, but I don't think many people have had the cars long enough to need replacements yet. The same battery is used in all model years, including the Mercury Mariner Hybrid, and Mazda Tribute Hybrid.

Keep in mind you cannot let it sit around for more than a few months without some use or manually charging it or it will self-discharge on its own. This is why my friend wants to sell it, since you really can't let it sit around for years for possible later use. So if you get it, you'd need to use it within ~6 months or take it apart for other purposes within that time frame.

I have never used eBay and neither has my friend. Plus, we'd hate to see some dealer buy it for $3000 and resell it to someone else for full retail ( $7000? ). I said I know where to find a bunch of actual "people" online, (here) so that's the purpose of this message.

Anyone want to entertain bids in the $3000 range for a basically new, stock Ford Escape Hybrid battery pack? That's more than half price!

If not, after a while, this will turn into a "strip for parts" operation.
Anyone interested in just some of the internal parts? Just the cells? Just the modules? Just the fans? Etc.

Contact me here, on the board, or via personal email. Don't PM me, the GH mailbox is very small, and mine is full already!

Thanks!
