Please let me know if you are successful.  Everything I've seen requires
removing the EEPROM to reprogram the parameters.

Based on the end of life behavior of my battery pack, I also expected to
find a bad pair of cells, but they all seem to have a lot of life left.  If
I find some time, I want to measure the capacity of the old cells - I expec=
