1) Disconnect the 12V for 60 seconds.
2) Reconnect
3) Start and let it charge at idle until it stops charging

Repeat 1-3 for a total of 3 times. See how long that lasts you.

It all depends on the state of your subpacks. You can pull the IPU lid and measure them yourself after an overnight sit. This will tell you if you have a cell failure or are dealing with multiple subpack issues such as excessive self-discharge. Measuring your taps will help you determine if a grid charger is a viable option or if it's just better to get a new battery.
