Im not an expert on the prius.

I thought the gen 1 used cylinder cells, than the rest were the soft sided ones?

Soft sided cells need to be under compression when in use.

Gen 1 cells are hard to find, like gen 1 insight cells.

Best bet is to balance the pack at 350 ma using a few series wired mean well led power supplies.

I believe the prius itself is the best tool for servicing the battery as it gives readouts of the sticks.

750? I would of purchased it and let AAA tow it home. You could make a portable balancer using a deep cycle battery, but it still takes HOURS for it to do its thing.
