I think what I'll do is pull out one "block" of cells.

The individual cells are assembled into sub-groups of 8 cells that are packaged together, and then those, along with the BMS and a bunch of wiring, create the entire battery pack.

It should be fairly straight-forward to pull out one block, wash it off, inspect it closer (in my nice warm and dry house) and see if it's possible to give it some charge.

One of the other guys here on Ecomodder doesn't live all that far away from me, and he has experience working on Lithium cells in an Enginer plug-in kit. I think I'll visit him and see if we can use his lithium charger/tester.
