Does anyone have insight on what is the best order of placing cells when say wiring a 4s pack. If I have 4 cells of different capacity should I put the highest two capacity in the middle of the pack, on the outsides or ??

I should have defined this better. Same capacity cells. I've just done my own testing on the cells so say they are 230ah cells. One maybe 232ah to say 228ah.

If concerned I would put them in sequence of capacity for quick reference if diagnosing an issue.
If rated the same, the order will not really matter.
