Im headed home after university graduation and Im trying to arrange shipping of my e bike back to the states. The bike frame itself can ship no problem, but no shipping company Ive found is willing to accept the battery. I think the best solution is to sell the battery and buy a new one for the bike overseas, but I dont know of a place to sell the battery on a short notice.
Does anyone know where I can sell a bosche e bike battery on short notice, or of a shipper that is willing to accept it if I ship it seperately to the bike?

Fedex/DHL will take them, but it would need to be declared with appropriate labeling and packed.

You can follow the flowchart here, Ion batteries -> Standalone -> Power rating > 100Wh -> qty < 35kg.
You’d need to discharge the battery below required SoC before shipping. (You should do that anyway for “store” charge).
There’s an extra surcharge for this (of course).
