I need some advise with fellows who have done. My only concern is the car is Civic 2007 model.

I am going to remove IMA and refurbish/balance as other threads say as my dealer informed to replace the battery. So idea is to take out the battery and do the balancing/grid charging at home. I will manage the cooling of batteries as well.

I want to drive the car for these few days. So need advise on settings to make sure 12V is charged and no other safety issues. Specially once IMA Battery is removed, can I safely insulate the + and - HV wires ?

Any other changes to BCM or modules ?

Thank you for your advises.
