Formula - too bad the Civic isn't as friendly.

Interesting. I'll have to check that on mine.

my DC-DC converter sometimes goes off when the pack is low/unbalanced, and I do hard acceleration. The ScanGauge shows the system voltage as 12V or less, rather than the 13-14V I see when the DC-DC is working. It seldom resets by itself, though, so I have to turn the engine off and restart to reset it.

I've also noticed the DC-DC periodically shuts down on its own accord, even at steady cruise, and permits battery voltage to fall. It always comes back online on its own though after a minute or two. Interestingly: it does not light the dashboard battery idiot light when this happens - I just happened to catch it on the ScanGauge.
When this happens, if I turn the headlights ON, DC-DC output immediately resumes. That last fact makes me wonder if Honda was doing some sort of "smart" output control under specific conditions (which I haven't discerned).
I've also been driving with the carpet & metal cover removed from the IMA stuff in the back of the car. I can often
hear when the DC-DC stops/starts. It makes a very quiet but distinct electronic noise (not a relay) when it does. Imagine a single electronic cricket chirp, and that's about it
