Yeah, the batteries with the extra leads have temperature sensors on them.

The battery box itself has the taps. Peter on the insight form uses a resistor matrix to collectively fool the IMA system into thinking the state of charge is higher or lower to make the car give more, less or no assist while in operation. He also has a computer version as well as a way to replace the battery with lifepo4s.
