Hi, is there any way to charge this battery out of the car. I no longer have the car. Thanks

This video is needing mass circulation/viewings, and I wish you and yours the buisness you deserve simply based off of your generous time given here(and consideration)!

[@joepro.736]

thank you for this show on how to repair a hybrid battery very helpfull

[@FrenchCrow]

Thank you for this really educational video. You have removed the fear I had about electric cars (the cost of replacing batteries that had to be exorbiting).

[@omarmolina6281]

Will it work if I just replace only the dead battery sticks ?

[@dmurage4117]

thank you for the video. where can one purchase the replacement battery sticks?

[@edgarsarap4035]

after replacing broken "sticks" and reassembling the battery into the car, does the software needs to be updated? Or all IMA faults will be cleared automatically and the car can be driven with right away?

[@mrnpc1602]

is there a video on how to tell which one is "Broken" I do have 2 battery packs and was thinking of taking the good batteries out and swapping the bad ones.

[@69mrnikolai]

yes preferably update it. also fixes any bugs

[@KevinWilliams87]

@@mrnpc1602 ​ I bought a 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid yesterday and it runs great even with the IMA/Engine light and 1 battery deterioration error code. Would love to know how to use a IMA Tester to replace just the bad battery cells.

[@hondacivichybridhub9252]

@@mrnpc1602 Yes, look into the video in my channel about internal resistance.

[@hondacivichybridhub9252]

After installing the IMA battery, we must disconnect the 12v battery (negative and positive) under the hood. Wait 30 seconds. This will allow the computer to restart and determine the status of the newly installed hybrid battery. If it's good, you will have no problem generally and can drive away. No need to see a dealer. You will know if it's bad. Follow instructions and study very carefully. Then, you will have no problem except for those that the hybrid battery will give (i.e. not working well). They can drive well and for a long time with the check engine code: P0A7F.

Is there any way to check with some tools which pair is damaged?

[@KevinWilliams87]

@@kerem54545454 how does this work on the IMA Batteries? seems like its for standard 6/12v batteries.

[@kerem54545454]

Kevin Williams load tester tests up to 14 V and even more. You can test every each of the cell to see which one discharging behavior is different than other. if your ima battery is too old and you always have ima light , odds are all cells are bad and you need new complete pack (11 pairs). I meant for Honda ima system, all batteries has to be in same charging capacity, if one is different it’s not going to work car will be stranded Vs in Prius, battery capacities doesn’t matter that much, it’s tolerance is big if you replace one or 2 bad cell it will run without any light.

[@hondacivichybridhub9252]

This definitely works. Our channel uses this as the basis for more work on the IMA battery. Thank you so much for this! Great work and best wishes!

When removing the temperature sensor from the stick, it can be unclipped so that you can unwrap it instead of sliding it over the end.

That's not an 09. 06-08 are different than 09-11, have different junction boards, and they are not internally compatible as the stick spacing is different.

S Keith thanks for the reply. yes, you are right about 2009 being different on the electronics. the batteries are interchangeable, just change the plastic spacers. we have a video for the newer type and have plan to upload it soon

open source total knowledge share. Luv it. All Vgood. Frank, Precise, Honest - RESPECT how you 'dryly' own your human imperfections, openly admitting your 'oops'! moments - always a good sign. The relative ease of the rebuild process [now] is calming down the concern with buying a japanese imported Jazz/Fit/Shuttle, [now] comfortable that an aging battery is [seemingly] near 'easy as' to 1] source 'more betterer' replacement cells then, 2] swap out. Uber Good Job. Taa mate. :)

[@billhamm7103]

I just took a reading of the voltages of my cell pairs which vary from 16.0 to 16.58, is this enough variance to worry about?

[@hondacivichybridhub9252]

That's pretty good. Don't worry for a while. You will know when it's going bad. And, even when it is going bad, it may still go for a while. Wait for check engine codes and don't fix the battery too early. Get your moneys worth, then move straight to new sticks when you feel they are too bad. Or, grid charge and discharge them using maxx volts. That's my best option.

In the junction board (from the flat washers) I have meassured 75 and 90 volts, but 0 volts in collective + and - connectors after I reinstall the battery in the car, and put the switch in the on position. Finally I was put back the replaced sticks, but I have the same problem. Can you help me with some ideas, instructions, please?

Anyone know the complete weight of a 2008 hybrid battery ?

[@marktaylor8315]

There are different sizes of the orange/green stacks, and they are not interchangeable. Different models of batteries, different cars or years, I'm not even sure. Even the distance between the bolt holes are different. I suppose you could use the smaller size in the larger case, but they won't be tightly held in place. The difference is only 1 or 2 mm, but it's enough to make interchange impossible, near as I can figure. Any ideas??
