Yeah, thats fine. Also pair off the sticks good with a bad one so the "taps" are seeing an evenly distributed voltage. If any of the taps sees a lower than collective voltage that triggers a negative recalibration where the car starts recharging for a preset time. Some feed signals to these taps sing a resistor matrix and such to gain more performance out of the system as well as a move to lifepo4 batteries.

Another dimension you can add to this cycling is to use a laser themerstotat to check the temp while the stick is being cycled.

Typically the first signs of problems with a hybrid is from 1 bad cells. Once that is found the next problems are either another bad cell or an overall worn battery.

Since you got some time on your hands you could try another set of cycles on your sticks.
