> I can certainly see one of the regular pouch cell "tabs" getting burnt open.
Full disclosure: I did see a small amount of smoke being emitted by
the two affected cells after the short circuit was (quickly) removed.
Burned-off tabs probably aren't repairable.

I don't disagree with the logic in this, what I see is that the
internet is flooded with modules that have been washed out of service
due to low capacity, most seem to be <50% SoH, which would result in
a less than optimal overall capacity for the entire pack.
Know of any sources for a onesey-twosey purchase of higher grade
modules? Greentec Auto seems to be a big player in marketing modules,
prices seem to be reasonable, although shipping is flat rate rate for
any quantity. They do have a fleabay store account, which might
provide some buyer assurance of satisfaction. I need to query them to
see if they will consider hand-picking some modules of a capacity
that matches the rest of my pack.
