    I need four to six battery modules that are about as worn as the surviving not-yet-bad modules. :)

    From the hours I spent reading the great forum posts here, apparently our individual means to recondition and test battery packs varies too much to find a common reference for battery condition. eBay has pictures with a voltmeter showing resting voltage, which only indicates that the cell is not complete garbage.

    My first round of whack-a mole showed three modules with inferior resting voltage and load teset results. Balancing proved them to be bad. The remainder of the modules were fairly consistent. So how to find a handful of modules of similar age/performance?

    Here's my best shot:

    I have a 2005 Prius with 115k on it. My balancing is using a 5A discharge to 6.0V and the charger is reporting 5900-6200 mAH of output before reaching target voltage.
