Quote from USMCProbe (my bold):
"Have a bunch of closely stacked cells being fast charged and discharged in series seems like it would be a really bad design."
Am currently pretty much out of my depth in this erudite, fascinating discussion. However, I cannot see how discharging the APU battery cells in parallel could provide enough "oomph", at about 4V, to start the APU.
As I understand it, the likes of RR_NDB are currently trying to work out how, in principle, the charging might be done in parallel?
