IMA battery was not actually bad after all. The kid sold the car to me less than 10 days ago for 1000 because he thought the IMA battery was bad since Honda said that the battery was bad. He showed me a print out and everything. I was looking around under the hood and noticed two short wires under the air intake box. One was extremely frayed, at least half was gone, and the other was completely severed. Bought two thick battery wires, thicker than the ones that were on the car, and new bolts and replaced them and took the car for a drive and the car started charging the IMA battery and now the IMA has a full charge and i have access to full assist.
I still ordered the grid charger though.
A note to anybody who is told by any mechanic, Honda certified or not, that they need a new IMA battery PERSONALLY look at the wires under the intake box to check the condition. If they are in bad condition or you can see any deterioration replace them and then check the car again. I almost dropped over 2 grand for something that didn't need to be replaced.
