How to charge Prius HV batteries

$

Hello all. Non-audio topic, but I'd like to ask if anyone here has tried to recharge the HV battery in a 2005 Toyot prius. It's made up of 28 x 7.2 volt NiMH cells in series for nom. 208 volts. I'm getting pressured at work to try to fix this thing but frankly I'm just a mechanic and I want to survive to see my Son's next birthday. The local Toyot dealer doesn't have the charger and basically said they can't help. Any advice is appreciated and I'm sorry for the non audio question. I'm asking this question here because there's lots of intelligent people on the forum. The battery pack is at 165 volts, some cells are 7.2v others 5.6v. I'm telling them that it needs a new battery pack but that's ~$3000. Seeking opinions please.
