You have a couple options for that if you want.

Peter makes a OBDII device that among other more conventional OBDII Stuff ... will read and display the Gen-1 Insight's IMA battery pack voltage, amps , Watts, and counts Ah and Wh in both Assist and Regen... you'd have to touch base with him about the schedule for his next production run... easy to use just plug into OBDII port.

Or you could tap off the IMA pack for voltage and use the OEM current sensor for current readings... if you wanted to put something more basic together yourself.

Or wait to test each of the 20 subpacks individually like was just done here.
