    Just be sure to carefully torque the HV stud-nut connections to 48 INCH pounds with a (good) torque wrench.

    That's a nice find. Have you done any discharge/charge/capacity testing on them?

    Do you have an extra one laying around? I'd be happy to throw it through some cycles and provide the info.

    The only aftermarket packs I've installed are still in service. None have failed yet. No spares cells laying around.....

    Does one of these equal two OEM modules so that it's only necessary to purchase half the number of modules?

    They sell the kit. You don't just buy the cells. They give you bus bars, the wires, and the new temperature sensors. It's a kit you don't choose what you need. They'll give you what you need. But yes, it's 14 packs of sub C cells. Contact them. See what they say

    Well, I recently learned there a 8 cell stainless steel NiMH modules to avoid unless you want to do something custom and are in the following:

    Vehicles using 8-Cell (9.6V) Prismatic Modules
    These modules are physically similar in thickness to the 6-cell versions but are wider and contain 8 cells instead of 6.

    Highlander Hybrid 2006–2013 30 240 288V

    Lexus RX 450h 2010–2015 (2016-2022?) 30 240 288V

    The 6 cell plastic NiMH modules that will interchange with the Gen 2 Priuses HV packs are per Gemini AI:
    Toyota & Lexus (Prismatic 6-Cell Modules)
    These are the most common users of the 7.2V prismatic module.
