The cells I am writing about are 3.7 volts. I guess they figure that if a voltage module goes offline because of a bad cell then retaining the remaining batteries of that module is a waste of time.
My concept is to maintain each cell much more carefully and not allow it to stray too far from optimum charging quality.
Unless the lithium came from a different universe an optimum routine cannot help but extend cell life thus, module and battery life. This is a universal rule in electro chemical applications.
If trying to argue the point remember decoupling alternator pulleys that offer .00000012 miles per gallon gain and ECU voltage regulators that hunt all over the map and new vehicle ECU analysis of alternator/battery parameters. All combined in the same bucket they're not worth half a honk of snot.
OEM engineers continue to lose focus in order to justify their salary.
Individual monitoring and maintenance is what I give to my two volt Rolls cells. This does not differ in concept from Word War II submarine 380 volt fore and aft battery maintenance and control.
Discrete amperage monitoring is useless re: Kirchoff's Law.
