Probably. Older, low mileage hybrids tend to have battery failures. The worst thing to do is to let these things sit.

Probably some other mini fused blown as well all though mine weren't. I no longer have Check Hybrid System error but the car won't start with the first push of the button, it says you must depress the brake while starting the car or something like that. I've got some more work ahead of me. Here's another trick, push the start button once as usual then a second time but hole it for 30 seconds, that bypasses the brake. My car again will start but will not go into gear. Hope this helps!

did you ever fix this problem and what was it?

If your 12V is good, you need to check your fuses. If your 12V is bad, replace it. If your 12V is good and you have no blown fuses, you need to remove, disassemble and the pack looking for missed connections. I suspect you didn't plug the voltage sensing harness into the battery computer under the main relay.

I'm sorry you got suckered into believing this is a trivial thing or an easy fix. Imagine having to repeat this exercise every 3-6 months as you play whack-a-mole with the failing modules.
I traded this car for a new Hyundai non hybrid car. Thank you so much for you and those who gave me valuable advice and info. Learnt a lot from you guys
