I was going to start a new thread, but this topic is so close to mine that I'm going to start by asking here.
2005 Honda Civic Hybrid owner. After a thorough battery reconditioning and a final top off charge on every stick, I've made it to the exciting and worrisome stage of reassembly. I let it sit for 2 weeks to let the voltage stabilize after the final top off charge, installed it, and my gauge cluster is showing an empty battery, while I'm measuring 159.8 VDC at the battery (8V/stick).
Is the computer just not liking the battery because the voltage is higher than the factory parameters allow for? I put a "full" charge into the battery before pulling it out for the reconditioning process, and each stick measured right at 7.80V at the time of disassembly (156.0 VDC for the pack). This makes me assume that perhaps the computer says the maximum voltage is 156. Do I simply need to drain this thing down so my output is not above that?
