    Hi everyone,

    Got a "Voltage Diff" of 1.18. Seems like time to pull the trigger on a new battery but I wanted to get some reassurance before writing a $2k check.

    I'm not up for trying to rebalance it.

    Thanks.

    A cell (1.2v) has gone bad in one of the modules. Yes, it is time for a new hybrid vehicle battery.
