Alright, due to overwhelming demand, they're back. Please, if you have any questions or concerns, contact me before leaving feedback. Thank you!

These sticks are as removed from core batteries before being rebuilt with new cells. They are kept together as removed from a core. They are not mixed up, tested, or screened in any meaningful way. They come out of the battery pack in a set of 20 and go back into a box in a set of 20. Heat shrink color will vary from orange to yellow.

You are bidding on a box of 20 used untested OEM Honda IMA battery sticks without PTC strips. These are extremely high quality, industrial grade NiMH "D" cell batteries welded together in a 6 cell 7.2V series pack, otherwise known as a "stick". Manufactured by Panasonic throughout the 2000's for Honda hybrid vehicles, they were rated at 6.5Ah when new. These are not your regular run of the mill "D" cells. When new, they were capable of very high charge and discharge rates of 50A and 100A respectively, due to their low impedance.

Please be aware that many of the cells or sticks are going to have too high an Internal Resistance, low capacity, or other problems that will prevent them from being used in the demanding car environment. However, some do have plenty of life left and would be great for perhaps an ebike project or other low to moderate current DIY, alternative energy or other hobby uses. Or of course you may get lucky and find sticks which are good enough to rebuild your Honda Insight or Civic hybrid battery packs with.

You may get a box/core that had the proverbial one bad stick, or you may get a box that was 15 years old and is just simply worn out. It is just luck of the draw. But for this price, who cares? You could buy several boxes for cheaper than a junkyard pack, increasing your odds even further that you will find sticks of the quality you want/need.


Untested, sold AS-IS. However, cells should be within these specifications:
  • 3,000 - 6,500mAh
  • 1.5 - 6.0mΩ per cell
With a Dremel and some elbow grease, you could even cut out the exceptionally good cells and make your own very capable, very cheap battery packs. Price some NiMH D cells and see what I mean! One buyer reported 96 good cells.

Once again, these sticks have had their heatshrink cut, and PTCs are not included. If you need additional heat shrink or PTCs, see our other auctions!

PLEASE NOTE: When experimenting with these sticks, DO NOT place them into an Insight or Civic hybrid battery case while bare. They MUST have insulating heat shrink on them when placed into the battery pack, or a fire could result.

Nissan Juke-R will cost £438,000

Thu, 10 May 2012

Nissan Juke-R - £438k of funky urban crossover The rather bonkers Nissan Juke R will be available worldwide – in very limited numbers – at a very limiting price – £438,000. The Nissan Juke -R has kept us in stories since lat year when Nissan first revealed the funky compact crossover with the heart of a GT-R. From being merely  a one-off (well, it was actually a two-off) project to show just what Nissan could make the little Juke do, it’s grown in to a proper little PR machine for Nissan.

Drivers say no to more diesel costs

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

THREE QUARTERS of drivers in the UK say there should be no more additional costs for those driving a diesel car. Under proposals for Ultra Low Emissions Zones (ULEZ), diesel car drivers would be charged more to drive in towns and cities across the UK. With the possibility of ULEZs becoming widespread by 2020, 75.4% of drivers in the UK say they object to this plan and are not prepared to pay more to use their car.
