Cool, even packs with wear should be able to provide meaningful power in the load types you'd find in your home.

I have a tesla model S battery that has been sitting doing nothing for over 1 year and the voltage is only down half a volt or so (25.2V 6S).

Implementing a charge and discharge limit 20% above / below the min / max of stock ratings would probably make these go another 10 years IMO.
