Issues with 01 Insight MT

Just bought my very first honda insight very first HYBRID ever.. I ll give you some detail of whats wrong.. My 12v battery looks brand new its from Advance autoparts but its drained to just about 0V so I charged it with my civic and got it up to 11.5v and put it back in the insight and nothing.. Battery is currently being charged at Advance Autoparts over night with trickle charger.. Should be good tomorrow and was topped off with water.. I scanned for codes and got a p1445 for now.. Also when I got to start it III it cranks over with the electric aux starter not the electric motor like its supposed to start... Quietly. What should I do to get this mint rain drop to start.. I do want to keep the IMA and would like to see 90mpg if it is possible.. Only has 108,000 original clean title and its a 01. LMK I'am very techincal with D series engines and have built a few for turbo applications also great at trouble shooting gas engines.. But dont know much about what could cause this Insight to start properly. N why the 12v is drained.. Also how do I check the life of the IMA..
