Field notes

The service diagnoses pack voltage, individual-cell voltage, and battery-management-board condition before opening the factory-bonded shell. It describes replacing the entire six-cell series string with new brand-name high-drain 18650 cells, then charging and load-testing the result. The page lists a $250 flat price, included return shipping, a two-week turnaround from arrival, and a no-fix-no-fee policy for United States customers.
