Darn! But even without assist, it's pretty driveable, as long as the DC/DC keeps charging. You can monitor this by looking at voltage with the ScanGauge - it should run about 13.5V, if the DC/DC quits it'll drop to 12V or less.
Also the pack rebalancing isn't too difficult, though time-consuming. And worst case, you can find salvage packs for under $500.
