Default Re: Nickel Cadmium vented cell battery, advice sought

NiFe cells were also used on Class 321 four car trains as back-up power for lighting. I was recently gutted when working on these trains at Milton Keynes where they had hundreds destined for scrap. I wanted quite a few for my solar PV project but couldn't get them because I don't have a waste disposal license or transport. If i'd known before the job finished I probably could have had the lot. All they needed was a clean up and fresh electrolyte. I hope the scrap dealer who got them knew what they are worth.
