I'll let someone else answer #1 and #2 but suspect we will have to wait
until after PCSAT2 is done for the best answers.

#3. No. 

PCSAT2 is part of an attached payload (MISSE 5 - Materials on the ISS
Experiment) so it will be returned in about a year. The materials that were
attached will them be examined to determine which ones fare the best over
long periods in the harsh space environment.

What lessons can be learnt from PCSAT2 vs PCSAT ?

Are there better batteries ?

Will PCSAT2 suffer the same problems as PCSAT ?
