That's seriously impressive you could fix the hybrid battery; how'd you do that? I didn't know a home mechanic can fix the big batteries in those.

Thanks Luca! 
I decided to take a bath and I think it's helping It's like heaven compared to how I spent the majority of the day!
@Gerontius It's not that difficult really, as long as you do it safely It's darned heavy though 
It puts out around 220 volts DC which is quite lethal...

...You have to remove a fusible link and it makes the battery a bit safer to work on but not completely safe until you remove all the connections. From there it's just a case of finding the bad modules and replacing them, making sure that they have a uniform voltage. It could still do with a proper balance but I think it's ok for the time being

Ooh how nice, you were doing actual open-heart surgery on that car! I have never worked on an electric car before; that sounds fun.

@Gerontius I guess you could call it that Having a decent amount of knowledge when it comes to electronics is definitely useful. It's pretty interesting to work on. The car doesn't have a traditional starter motor for example and the way the Synergy drive works is pretty ingenious!
