    Sorry guys, I looked and looked and could not find a definite guide on cycling battery modules, so far I've found bits and pieces of information but since this would be my first time doing this, I don't want to do something wrong/ dangerous.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction? Help a newbie out!

    If you don't want to do something dangerous, you should not look into cycling battery modules. It could be very dangerous

    It's not dangerous at all. It is very wise preventative maintenance that can significantly extend the life of your traction battery. Our charger & discharger systems do it in the car and make it super easy. We have sold close to 1,000 of these and ship them all over the world on a daily basis.

    Here is a good example: a 2005 Prius that we increased the HV traction battery capacity by 19% on without having the battery ever come out of the car:
