Do you have the error codes? Maybe something other than batteries. Usually when the capacity falls below .65 amp hours in capacity it trips. Sounds like that has happened.

The IMA system uses taps at every other stick so if it senses an imbalance it stops and switches modes.

Testing the sticks is a passive way to go about it. If you can get a hobby charger to charge/discharge 5 cycles or so you can actually recover some usable capacity and get a better idea of a good vs bad stick and helps you to size them up so you can pair them off with a good/bad stick.
