SLA issue

You might wanna wear eye protection if you start jamming metal into a battery.

Bang a screw into the connecting bar for your 10v battery terminal

the main 24v output falls over badly in under 5% of rated ampacity, and I'm thinking this may be fully or largely due to the one bad cell. New batteri es are about to be ordered, but in the meantime wondered if there was a way to hard short this cell, and whether it is somewhat likely to result in a usable battery pack as a short term measure. I was thinking something gold plated jammed between the plates - maybe just hacking the case open & addin g lead wedges would be required. Any input welcome.

only if you make silly assumptions.

That's the 2nd option, hack the case apart.
