First off, thank you for your interest in this case study! Your download has been sent to your e-mail, and it should arrive soon. Meanwhile, let me tell you more about this whole Powerwall and Power Saving idea.

It all started with the need to store electricity for blackouts, brownouts, and for protecting my home appliances from spikes, which destroied multiple electronics for me in the past.

I discovered a great solution by recycling used laptop and power tool batteries. This niche is rapidly growing, and people started doing this full time, earning a good profit with their hobby.

Here’s how people produce between $2,000 to $3,500 worth of recycled battery cells each month with a few pushes of buttons. They get the most valuable components of a Powerwall dirt cheap then sell for a profit.

Are you sick of looking for DIY projects that work and are also useful? In the past, I’ve found myself checking out all sorts of projects and discovered that none worked as advertised, so I stopped for a period.

That was until a recent tragedy, which changed the way I perceive the big companies such as General Electric, which is most likely controlled by our government.

Now, I know that we just met, so I don’t want to burden you with my experience. I will share that story some other time. Now, let’s focus on you and on the reason that got you here, on this page, this very moment.

FACT: Tesla Powerwall costs between $10,000 to $18,000, not including the installation price

While the technology is fantastic, not many regular users will afford this price tag for a backup and energy saving solution. This is why I took the journey to find out what it takes to make my own Powerwall.

Before digging into specifics, I started by finding the best way to reuse laptop batteries because many repair shops sell those in bulk, really, really cheap.

I was able to purchase 100 used laptop batteries for 40 USD, making me a profit of over $1200 after I recycled them, that’s how powerful this is.

I am a car mechanic dealing mostly with the electrical part on cars for 20 years. When I first started this project, it was a bit daunting even for me, but after getting the workflow together, testing different methods to recycle the cells and finding the best sources, things started to get very simple.

Once I started seeing the potential of this project, I decided to record some videos to make this project accessible to other people with no experience in recycling used batteries.

It took me a couple of weeks to get everything in place, but all my neighbors and friends said that it was all worth it.
