Why the recommendation to cycle the battery before its in the car? Got any links to info on this?
The banding idea is interesting and probably a great idea, thanks!

To balance out of the car because these are out of the car and at the same time you can use the vehicle for any need that may arise with out having to drive away with a looong extension cord around town.
In the way these batt are supplied to the end user are basically how they arrived from China from a long sea journey and, unfortunately, we found that the Manufacturer's QC is not the best.
So, you may have in your hands some unmatched cells; better to take care of all issues in a control environment.
Patience is a virtue.
PS.
I saw that you opened a new thread in Prius Chat about the same topic than this.
A good topic on Enginer batteries can be found
