Is this coolant leak something to be worried about?
Posted: Tue Jun 24, 2025 9:24 pm
I recently purchased this 110kwh battery for a Lordstown Endurance on ebay for my conversion, claimed to be in excellent condition. I haven't picked it up yet, and in looking at the listing photos I noticed what looks to be some coolant leaks on the side of the pack, exactly where a careless forklift driver could have stabbed the pack and ruptured a line (just a guess).
I'm getting this pack for a decent enough price that I'm not opposed to repairing the coolant lines, but I was worried about corrosion. The main coolant lines were cut and I imagine were mostly drained, but does that look like enough to potentially cause an issue? Assuming coolant did drain out at a puncture, how damaged/corroded is the pack likely to be if they left it sitting at the bottom for 1-2 months?
I'm requesting more photos, and can obviously check the pack far better when I pick it up, but it'll be a cross country drive and I'd rather cancel the order if it's likely to have seriously damaged the modules. I wanted to check with some people that might be more knowledgeable than me on this, any thoughts would be very appreciated!
