Also, would the super brain 989 work on a 06 civic hybrid? I saw in the thread you recommended someone stated that the civic has 12 cells. And if they are lithium, the super brain 989 states it works on 1-8 lithium cells or 1-25NiCd

The dealer would buy a refurbished battery from Honda, swap them out, and send yours back to Honda. They don't know anything about grid chargers. AFAIK, the Honda techs don't have to know anything about battery failure modes and repair, either.
The only person who's making grid chargers for sale at the moment is ArtRic on InsightCentral.net.
The 06 Civic uses 12-cell sticks of NiMH, and the SB 989 can handle up to 24 cells at once. There's a little more guesswork as to what's going on when you're reading 12 cells at once instead of just 6, but it should still get the job done.
