How to Recondition Honda Civic Hybrid IMA battery

This is how I repaired a dead 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid IMA battery. Reconditioned all the sticks individually, deep cycled the whole battery. Key note not mentioned in the video. -- MAKE SURE TO BALANCE ALL BATTERY STICKS BEFORE INSTALLATION -- It will go hay-wire if the voltage readings are slightly out of balance. I would strongly recommend staying away from these cars. They have a lot of issues that need to be worked out; being the first hybrid batteries in America. They had multiple temperature sensor issues, dozens of super sensitive BCM fault codes, problems with the AC/DC power inverter & NiMH battery sticks. All in all I believe Honda did a great job of getting the technology out there in early 2000's but Toyota won the gold metal by fixing all the mistakes Honda made. Save yourself the hassle and buy a Toyota... The Prius is a well built hybrid with all the bugs worked out already. No car is perfect but IMO Toyota is a much better engineered vehicle.
