Formula: just out of curiosity, have you tried the grid charger approach to balance your pack?
If I had to rely on my vehicle (ie. couldn't afford to pull it off the road for an extended period to tinker with it), I might start with that first.
It's possible you could return it to health without having to go through the tedious process of analyzing the subpacks with the Super Brain (or equivalent).
I'll definitely make/get a grid charger when this process is done anyway, particularly since I don't drive an awful lot. The car sits sometimes for weeks at a time, which is particularly terrible for the pack (cells drift out of balance through different rates of self-discharge).
Also, it will be fun to play at "mini-plug-in-hybrid" with a grid-charger.
