David, I just visited a community college that reconditions hybrid packs - include Civic packs such as yours. If you are any where near Flat Rock NC you can get a very good deal on that work at Blue Ridge Community College (probably free or just parts).
The pack is mad from NiMH cells welded end to end. There is probably ample video record of this on YouTube. You may want to look at information on the Automotive Research & Design website - they make systems to do this, and created the franchise "The Hybrid Shop." NiMH apparently can be reconditioned and recover a lot of lost function. Also there is decent success getting useful cells from salvaged packs. The NiMH cells apparently have some crystal growth that can bee reversed but some routine oc pulsing the charge current. I don't know the details.
