yes it probably would but it would be fine for emergency backup for a hospital, critical data center, emergency response center and so on.
when in Yokohama, the battery plant had portable unit on wheels that could house 5-6 Nissan packs (it had 2 in there) I tried to get a pix (we were not allowed to take pix here) but only got the side of someone's head...
as far as how the replacement process will work; I am also in the camp that the replacement pack will be one that has 100% of the original capacity. whether its new or refurbished, I have to say it really doesn't matter. degradation in Phoenix is probably fairly consistent across all the cells and you cant put a good cell in with a bunch of bad ones. it just throws everything out of balance.
