I am now taking orders and deposits for grid chargers, with a built in monitoring system, LCD display, and expect to be selling them mid July.
Features:
Building a hybrid car grid charger - MIMA Honda Insight Modified Integrated Motor Assist

How to order:
Grid Charger - MIMA Honda Insight Modified Integrated Motor Assist

The chargers will charge and balance packs from 6 to 260V, and will have an auxiliary port so an additional 100V can be attached, bringing the range from 6 to 360V.
I will be selling custom IMA harnesses for each model of car, so the connections can be made permanent.

Already have 50 confirmed orders, so I will be building 100 chargers, 50 of each type.
So far this charging/equilization seems to help the majority of the packs that have been charged using this concept.
Even packs that have sat for several years will usually recover nicely after a couple of charge discharge cycles.
