Combine the availability of used sticks with the ability to get the good ones back to close to OE specs and you have the opportunity to purchase a used hybrid with a bad battery pack, for a really cheap price and fix it yourself as well as maintain the pack at a decent level of performance.
One of the most relevant threads in this forum and a real opportunity to extend the life of many hybrids.
In areas where there are a lot of military deployments and the cars sit for months without being used their will be a lot of pack imbalances that are diagnosed as failures, when they can be rejuvenated for a relatively low cost.
