Hi! I'm looking to get a method to restore my 07 civic battery packs, I didn't find any "sticky" on this forums. I have made some research and found plenty of topics on it, but there seem to have a lot of different methods and I got a little confuse. Is there any proof methodsome where?

thank a lot

 

I've owned 2X HCH2 (2006). I've touched over 30 of their battery packs. I've only seen about 5 good ones. The chances of you successfully reconditioning your pack after a failure is HIGHLY unlikely. The cars have a cooling system defect, and the cells get cooked. They fail in excessive self-discharge, and that can't be fixed.

In answer to your one question:

No.

 

Thank for your reply.

I did'nt have any IMA code yeat, but I know that the overall pack is weak. I did'nt care about grid charge it on montly interval. I just wanna give the pack a little moore capacity or know how many stick I need to replace.

 

I don't understand your message about "grid charge on a montly interval." If you haven't had a failure yet, the grid charging/reconditioning option may significantly extend your battery life.

How often do you experience a recalibration?

 

=13pxSorry, i'm french, trying to do my best to explain clearly.

The car is not my daily driver, I use it a couple times a month, so it recalibrate each time I use it. Last week, batt light opened up when I was in traffic. I think is due to rear defrost + heated mirror + light + radio all that with a low engine RPM due to traffic. The car didn't want to charge anymore, so I had to reset (disconnect battery) on the side of the highway, then he was charged again and run fine...
So I want to check how many cell a weak to change them or make them better. The battery pack is already all apart. I'va ordered a B6 on amazon but it was crap, could not calibrate it so return it back. Looking for a better one.

 

Only thing wrong with your IMA battery is "I use it a couple times a month". Hybrids should be driven several times a week.

You are likely going to destroy your battery.

Re-install and drive it more.
