Every day, thousands of people rely on Tesla car battery cells to get to work, school, and return home; if your car battery is reaching the end of its life, you can find an affordable replacement Tesla battery pack on eBay.

What to look for when choosing the right battery for your car

Two major battery form factors are produced by Tesla and used in their vehicles:

  • 21700 battery – This form factor is used in the Tesla Model 3 for vehicle power. It is a lithium-ion rechargeable battery cell with a capacity of 3000-4800 mAh. Each battery cell weighs between 60 to 65g and is 70mm long with a 21mm diameter.
  • 18650 battery – These batteries are used in the Tesla Models X and Model S. This cell is a lithium-ion rechargeable battery with a capacity of 2200 to 3600 mAh. This battery cell is smaller and lighter than the 21700 form-factor. It is 65mm long with an 18mm diameter, and it weighs between 45 to 48g.
How do you recognize the differences between Tesla’s electric vehicle batteries?

The two types of batteries have some defining features:

  • Capacity – The battery capacity of new and preowned Tesla batteries for sale determines how much energy can be stored in the battery cell. The bigger the capacity, the more energy can be stored and discharged by the cell.
  • Use case – Each Tesla battery for sale has specific vehicles that are compatible with its technology and performance, and the 21700 is even used for power storage in stationary home power systems.
  • Energy density – This shows how efficiently the space that the battery takes up is being used. More efficient use of battery space is communicated by a higher energy density.
How to pick the right configuration

Purchase the right configurations of used Tesla batteries for sale by being aware of the following varieties:

  • Single cell – These are the smallest configurations available as a used Tesla battery. They can be purchased to complete a module but cannot power the vehicle alone.
  • Module – This is a configuration of thousands of single cells depending on the Tesla model. These cannot power the car on their own but represent a more functional unit of power.
  • Tesla battery pack – This is the largest and most complete configuration necessary to power a Tesla vehicle. It is made up of many separately completed modules that have been joined together. A Tesla battery pack for sale will come with all modules already joined.
