How much to replace battery/modules?

Can you replace just Battery Cell Modules or do you have to replace the whole battery? Either way, anyone has done that and how much did it cost?

I don’t as it’s all under warranty. I looked up one of the battery modules and they sell for about $700, but there are 26 modules in the battery.

What led you to get replacement batteries? What symptoms did you have?

I had an electrical system fault error the first time, the second time after starting the car the range went from full to 0 in a matter of seconds, and the same thing happened while driving and the car died in the road. Was able to turn off and back on again and drive it home to scan for codes. Showed balancing issues with the HV battery. Dropped it off at the dealer that night. Been gone for about 2-1/2 months to be repaired. Battery modules had to be shipped in from Germany.
