  • Most importantly: the check engine/IMA lights did not come on
Previously, ~20 km was the farthest I could drive the car without causing the error lights to come on, even driving very conservatively. So, I'm calling this a successful "rejuvenation".

Next step: installing the grid charger to keep the pack balanced in the long run.
This is good news, now if I can get an insight without spending
2006 Honda Insight
that much, I will have a good template to follow on the battery.

Hopefully your battery lasts you many more years as-is.
