Anyone know where you can get new individual cells, would it be very difficult to replace the cells yourself? Looks like they are Panasonic Prismatic Cells 3.7V 5AH like these: https://jag35.com/products/c-max-hybrid-fusion-batteries-panasonic-lithium-cells-3-7v-5ah but sold out. Not even sure how many you would need.

Here's mine at 126k. Original battery. This is the most I can eek out of it now. Got around 25 miles when new (See my only other post from six years ago) Still LOVE this car, its a TANK. Other than battery degradation, after new struts, drives / rides like new. This battery has been abused though. I used to Uber on the weekends with it. There were some days where I would L2 charge it to full 3-4 times in a day. Commutes to work are exactly 19.4 miles (see pic) and I typically roll in on electric fumes, if red lights didnt cooperate I would be in hybrid mode for the last mile! Full charge at work and head home. Id estimate the battery has over 2500 full charge cycles on it, easy. Thats not counting charge (regen) discharge in hybrid mode, Im talking 2500 of actual charging and in full EV mode. Who knows what the actual battery cycle number is...

I just bought a (new) leftover 2015 Energi thats been sitting on the lot for over 2 years... ($25k OTD plus I get state and federal rebate/credit of about $9k total) Anyway, I can eke out 25 miles from the battery so I suppose its in relatively good shape. My commute to work is 20 miles and I drop my two kids off at school and daycare. I will charge at work too. So at home I am charging overnight on regular 120V circuit, and at work I will be charging at 240V. I will maximize EV driving and am not going to worry about the battery. I do live in a relatively cool climate though (CO).
