Since you have a number of these old Toshiba Li Ion packs, have you
run CBA tests on any or all the working ones?

Nope. I'm mostly interested in unpackaged Li-Ion and LIPO unpackaged
batteries for model airplane and robotic use. Also, I've tested some
cell phone batteries and tested for some oddities, such as NiMH
batteries that actually increase in capacity on initial charge. It
takes a long time to test a battery properly, so I don't do it often.
The bigger the battery, the longer it takes to discharge.
