A guy I race with has the CE. He always has some smokin' horsepower. I think he sells some packs around the shop. It costs a lot to get a big batch of cells, but if he can sell a decent number of them, he doesn't do too bad. You would have to be ready for a large up front cost, then sell some competitively. You may not make any money for some time, depending on the volume you could sell.

Profit is a secondary purchase point for me right now.
My son and I raced a very rigorous winter on-road season and spent probably $350 on new and used batts initially, some we inherited or were donated.
I picked up a Zero-30 discharge tray a few weeks back to go along with the two smart trays we used all season. I noticed that after a run on certain packs that one cell had no juice left while the others had a lot more left in them.
I'd like to weed out the weak/almost dead cells and re-assemble the good ones into usable packs.
Next on-road season, I anticipate running 4-6 cars out of our pits, thus, the need for lots of batteries!

I am writing the software for the new Competition Electronics TM-8 Battery Matcher. Should be available in the very near future.

They have already sold a large number of these matchers, so if you want one you should call and get on the list soon.
