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.

It is so well known that there are companies that do this for you. They mix and match cells to make "remanufactured" packs and do the swap in your driveway for $1000.
