    I went in to rotate the modules.
    I did that.
    More important I found the fan almost fully clogged. I didn't take any pictures.
    I did get voltage and resistance readings for my records. These are my readings. Running good getting good 50mpg. Next I'm gonna make a balance cable to balance the battery without taking it out of the car.

    How many miles, and what promoted you to rotate the modules?

    On this battery somewhere around 200k miles. The car has 399k miles on it. Couple of months ago I noticed a about 4-8 mpg drop. I hit it with prolong for a long time as I was trying to work out a noise I was having it went back up to 50+ mpg. So I decided to rotate as well. Now there is the result of my work thus far. I didn't do that before prolonged it. I had a bunch on my mind.
    The battery is about 2.5 years old maybe more. Might be able to get the actual date from the dealer

    Wow it says new condition with 200k on the battery. Almost 99%. I guess prolong works even tho voltages aren't super balanced.
