    Just be sure to carefully torque the HV stud-nut connections to 48 INCH pounds with a (good) torque wrench.

    That's a nice find. Have you done any discharge/charge/capacity testing on them?

    Do you have an extra one laying around? I'd be happy to throw it through some cycles and provide the info.

    The only aftermarket packs I've installed are still in service. None have failed yet. No spares cells laying around.....

    Does one of these equal two OEM modules so that it's only necessary to purchase half the number of modules?

    They sell the kit. You don't just buy the cells. They give you bus bars, the wires, and the new temperature sensors. It's a kit you don't choose what you need. They'll give you what you need. But yes, it's 14 packs of sub C cells. Contact them. See what they say
