    Eric:
    I've noticed you now being listed as a technician on rebuilder's website. Have you got the tools to test battery pack capacity yet?
    Your source rebuilder does not stipulate capacity of their rebuild packs. Did you ask them? They rebuild from used modules. You put yourself in a hairy situation if you start offering unlimited mileage and be accountable for it yourself, mate.
    Even if the warranty is backed up by their program – who will bear the costs (you?) of shipping back to them failed packs (there will be a few – mind my words) within 3 years period. Not to mention to go through the trouble of establishing whether it is covered by warranty or not.
    P.S. re: "non-fleet use" there are always owner-operators which are not part of the fleet but still do a lot of runs...

    Good luck with that...
