After multiple charge/drive cycles to wake up the "standby pack", visual results of a load test comparison of the current pack vs. the standbys...
The leftmost batts (#1 & #2) are the same in both pics - I left in the best batteries from the current pack for comparison purposes.
It's not good. The best battery in the standby pack performs worse than the worst battery of the existing pack.
So sad!
I'll evict these mutts and return the others to the car this week.
Now I'm mulling over the idea of some aggressive weight reduction as one means for prolonging the life of the current pack, which is probably the car's last.
