Re: Failed IMA Battery Owners!
regarding cell phone batteries: Don't know what phone you have, but we rarely have a battery that makes it past a year. We have 6 cell phones (4 new and 2 old).

Re: Failed IMA Battery Owners!
I am another failed IMA Battery Owner. IMA light originally come on in December 08. My mechanic replaced the 12v car battery which worked until early February when the IMA light came on again. I was told by my Honda dealer that the codes were P1447 and P1449 battery module deterioration. This is a 2003 Civic Hybrid manual transmission with about 120K in mileage. The estimate for repair was $3530 and they wanted me to sign a waiver that if anything else was wrong they wouldn't be responsible. I can't afford the price and I was a little scared about the waiver business. I have chosen to just drive it although that choice leaves me with a nagging stress in the back of my mind. It seems to charge okay. It fully charged the last time I drove it. It also from time to time appears to be charging (about 4 bars) when I don't think it is.

Jeff:
Did you try taking the ground cable off the battery and re-installing it? This resets everything and it may work!! Worth a try! Hal |
