Look to corporations or government, 50,000lb batteries would be repaired mostly because at massive scales it's cheaper. Think of, for example, the Navy stripping & rebuilding entire ships. They could have made a new hull, but a huge crew of workers is cheaper. The main reason consumer stuff is not repaired, I've decided, is the scale is so small that the savings, too, are so small they vanish.
