Why don’t you use them to build your own home energy storage system at
home? You can build a 48v system (3P-16Series of your CALBs) you would have
180Ah x 3. Couldn’t those cells still have at least 30% capacity left, Maybe
more? But enough to power your home for half a day on basic appliances like
lamps, internet and TVs.
If you want to go pro, you could use the VFXR series from Outback Power
(http://www.outbackpower.com/products/inverter-chargers/fxr-vfxr-series) which
is a 120/240 since wave inverter grid tie and island capable, and have the
ability to charge from the grid/solar, buy and sell electricity depending on
your rates from day/night and power your house in a black out event.
At least that’s what I’d like to do on my next opportunity.
