The testing continues!
If that is the largest difference you find in discharge capacity ... that is a ~17% effective capacity loss compared to the ~40% you had from the differences in SoC... even without replacing it ... just a balanced SoC will give you effectively about double the initial usable discharge capacity for the whole pack.

It is also interesting that the subpack with this lowest so far discharge capacity ... initially had the 3rd highest SoC with 1,159 mAh ... while the so far highest discharge capacity subpack with 6,714mAh , was initially one of the lowest SoC with only 17mAh.

good stuff
