I have to admit as an owner of an IMA powered vehicle and modulator of the forum I tried to follow the comings and goings of this the best I can. As it turned out the more we try to learn it seemed the less we knew.
Last I followed it there was discussion of draining the pack to a very low voltage if not zero and in turn you restored almost full capacity of a weak stick.
Ive decided if I need some hobby power Id just buy a prius pack and if my car or a used hch in my future needs service in the ima departmetn Id just buy a new pack from one of the several vendors out there.
