Much easier to use a load bank and test the entire pack than to just test a single cell, the procedure is the same for 1 as for 12 cells. There soon becomes a problem on recharging a single cell. Hard to find a potent 2 volt charger to refill them.
Your too far for me to help, try renting a load tester from a local industrial battery shop. The one you want has a bunch of switches and a rheostat for fine adjustments. If you want detailed instructions on how to do it, let me know and i will get them to you. I have been trying to buy a used one but everyone wants too much for my taste. Only need one a couple times a year. Could probably do more if i had one.
