would it be a cheap way to get a nicad or nife battery bank, is to get one were the plastic contaners are old and brittel and refiting the nicad or nife cells into a new glass case with fresh electrolyte?

No NiCd and NiFe are extremely expensive compared to lead acid. The Nickel based batteries will be 4 to8 times more expensive per AH capacity. NiFe can be restored to some extent, but not NiCd.MSEE, PE -
I was thinking of nife and nicad cells with the plastic UV or physically damaged.Comment

repair beat up / sun damaged cases - no. Get new glass or plastic cases, repairing old damaged plastic is not likely going to workPowerfab top of pole PV mount (2) | Listeroid 6/1 w/st5 gen head | XW6048 inverter/chgr | Iota 48V/15A charger | Morningstar 60A MPPT | 48V, 800A NiFe Battery (in series)| 15, Evergreen 205w "12V" PV array on pole | Midnight ePanel | Grundfos 10 SO5-9 with 3 wire Franklin Electric motor (1/2hp 240V 1ph ) on a timer for 3 hr noontime run - Runs off PV ||
