I mentioned it because the local wreckers when they get a hyrbrid (they usually avoid them) they want the battery gone asap and sometimes just about give it away, even considering these are 5.5-6.5ahr 144-300v packs.
Cool. I'm going to check out a few and keep my eyes peeled. Why do they try and get rid of them ASAP? Is it an environmental issue keeping them around?

-edit-

I've got a few leads to some auto shops. I have a few questions. Am I looking for just the batteries or do these setups come with a BMS? i'm thinking about snagging the chargers as well if I can get a hold of some, but I just want to know what I'm looking out for to include in my setup.
