I'll be following your progress since I have the same situation with my HCH. Are there known reliability issues with the Super Brain charger? Seems I've read that once or twice. Are there any other chargers suitable for this task?

Also, regarding your point about never recovering the expense of repairing the pack, don't overlook the increased resale value should you ever sell the car. Especially since I'm assuming you got a great deal on it due to the battery problems. I could drive my car forever as it sits now with no electric assist, but I'd take a huge hit if I ever tried to sell it like that. Plus the car is a LOT more fun to drive with electric assist, so there's that to consider as well.
