Traction battery refurb, modules swelling, need advice with settings.

Balancing from on top is specific to NiMH battery chemistry and some folks with old Honda Hybrids say you need to balance for 48 hours for best results. I've found afternoon till the next morning to be adequate. It greatly improves the odds of a successful rebuild. I stopped doing rebuilds without back in 2018. It's almost like a good luck charm as far as how its helped me with old annoying packs.

If you balanced using this method with lithium however you'd destroy the pack right away... As in Lithium cells need to be balanced at the bottom of their power curve, right before their voltage falls off a cliff from a lack of charge.
