IMO batteries need to be standardized, documented, training and parts available and certification programs for repair. I should be able to take my battery to a certified technician/shop and have it serviced (bad cells replaced, battery management board replaced) without having to worry about it.

Do e-bike batteries generally need REPAIR or do they more likely just get less effective over time in a way that's not really fixable? Not arguing against repair here, just trying to understand the landscape. Is "fixing" them swapping out cells?

That's an excellent plan.
