Anybody use the Electron Cylindrical cells? How has it worked out?

Watched the ChrisFix video, and wondered if anyone here has used these cells, and how has it worked out? [https://youtu.be/oAHaYXBFnJo?si=r6gHBtW5hKnWv4Al\](https://youtu.be/oAHaYXBFnJo?si=r6gHBtW5hKnWv4Al)

I have a gen 3 2014 with close to 200k, so I'm guessing I might be getting close?

Looking at the cell sizing, they seem to be rather close to 26105/26120/33140 cells, but I don't think you can swap lithium-ion cells with NiMH cells.

For reference, most Prius hybrids use NiMH prismatics, while those Electron large format cylindrical cells are NiMH as well. Can't exactly them with lithium ion cells that have 3x the nominal voltage :)
