Before you do anything, get the codes read.

For voltage readings, you click the dropbox link that shows you a picture of the BCM connector. You measure the 10 voltages between the 10 pin pairs...

Given the fact that it's been sitting a few days, it would be a very good time to check the tap voltages before you start the discharge.

I would not exceed much past 36 hours. Once voltage fails to rise more than 1V in 5-8 hours, the battery is full.

Ah, so you opened the IPU and bypassed the harness altogether. That's what I...

Battery temperature is what matters. 24 hours is not sufficient. I'd give it another 8 hours per my recommendation above.

After another 8 hours, I'd drive it and see what happens. Given the...

The voltage profile of NiMH is different when it's cold. They probably won't be damaged from a grid charge, but a full pack won't top out at 180 volts if it's 0F, it'll be much higher and OP's grid...

Don't panic just yet.
There are 120 NiMH cells in the pack, right?

They'd hold about 1.2 Volt each when not close to being topped off. 150 Volt under a mild charge seems OK.
When full they'd top...

You probably should not be grid charging or discharging in this weather, nevermind that deep discharges can be fatal for cells.

Falling asleep while discharging flatlined my Insight's IMA battery, and is the reason I'm driving a Volt now :o Not that I'm complaining!

Be careful while trying to balance cells, it's at best...

Ye discharging to 0v killed a pack of mine a couple years ago. Definitely don't do that.

Down to zero... wow. Unfortunately, you must have done only a few minutes of research. That was briefly all the rage a couple years ago until packs started crapping out.

Given the voltage...

I see thee possibilities. You may have finished killing off a few cells, haven't let it charge long enough yet, or the cold is keeping your batteries from putting out/accepting full voltage.

Welcome to the site fellow Wisconsonite!

I would suggest starting a garage entry / fuel log here so people can see your progress.
