If you see 04-15 Toyota Pri's with bad batteries send them my way! It's not really a secret anymore but you can discharge and charge the batteries on a charger, measure Ah capacity remaining in the cells and keep the good ones and toss the old ones very easily. Rebuilding the pack of 28 cells typically cost a max of like 600$. Much less if you actually test your cells vs just tossing all of them. If you just do a swap of all cells I'd say a couple hours and you're done. Plus the cells are just in a rack vs spot welded like the damn Honda batteries.
