I forgot to mention that when I inserted my power meter into the charger circuit at the start of my rebalancing session, the input current measured 0.81 amps. After charging for about 4 hours, the input current had dropped to 0.49 amps. Can those measurements be used to estimate the output current? If so, maybe this would be a way that I could monitor the state of the battery rebalancing.
When I parked my car a couple of weeks ago, the IMA battery's charge level was about 85%, so it probably remains at a pretty high charge level. This was after a positive recal had occurred after the 12 v. battery had been reconnected when my car was liberated from the shipping container. So maybe the time necessary to rebalance the battery cells would be considerably less than 24 hours.
