Default Does anyone know if this is fixable?

UPS damaged a battery that was shipped to me.

This is a picture of a good board:

And this is the damaged one.

Side view of the component just to the left of the center (just left of
the brass-colored tube edit: DC-DC CONVERTOR FUSE). The top is cracked open. edit: HIGH VOLTAGE CONTACTOR

And a matching shot of the good board for comparison

Top view of the same component:

The component directly above it (this appears to sense the current with a
EMF loop) edit: MPI MODULE CURRENT SENSOR

Bad http://www.ronaldhansen.com/ima/damaged/img_5431.jpg

And of course, the blue connector:
Bad http://www.ronaldhansen.com/ima/damaged/img_5439.jpg
Good http://www.ronaldhansen.com/ima/damaged/img_5440.jpg

The blue connector actually looks like it still works (with a little tape
to hold it together).

I wouldn't use a broken HV Relay, too much relies on it's operation (safeties). It would be very bad if it was stuck on. The current sensors should either work or not. I would probably just replace the output board with one from a bad pack.

It turns out that Majestic actually sells all the parts for the board.
