You might be happier installing a MIMA which would allow you to cut out the IMA for those long climbs, and then drop it back into the mix when you're done with the mountain.
+1 on pig. I have a 1.5 mi. climb on my way home and an IMA light showing, the batt capacity is down to maybe 40% of new. Regen during climbs bites hard. And no, I don't have a MIMA either.
