20 sticks of six cells each. You will have less than 100% yield on the process, hence the need to acquire additional sticks. But yes, you can refurbish a battery pack and get many years of service out of it before you have to repeat the process. And as discussed above, unless you're just rebalancing the battery, it's more than charging. It's charging, discharging, and analyzing. Takes a few weeks.
