    I am going to embark on a learning experience and replace a HV block or cells. I have found a person splitting up a new 2010 Camry Hybrid HV battery.

    Is it a good option to be using a new cell or a potentially known good cycled 2nd Prius cell?

    Would a new cell be too healthy compared to the current other cells? Or would a 2nd hand cell be more balanced to suit the current old cells
