What's in a Fiat 500e revival pack

[Ch0c0latel0ver]

We have a Fiat 500e at auction, thinking it was a "run and drive." Unfortunately, that wasn't the case! I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to electric cars, so I'm hoping you guys can help me out.

Here's where I'm at:
No charging: The car isn't taking a charge.
Damaged HV connector: There's damage to the high-voltage connector.
Low battery voltage: The battery pack voltage is showing as zero.
Tight deadline: I only have a week to get the car running.
I've been doing some research and here's what I understand:

HV connector repair: I might need to replace the HV connector, but I'm wondering if it's possible to repair it with epoxy.
Charging the pack: I need to charge the modules up enough so the car can charge normally.
I've read about other members who've done this, but I'm not clear on the exact tools and methods.

Questions:
Battery type: What type of battery does the Fiat 500e use? Lithium-ion or NMC?
Module voltage: What should the voltage of each module be when fully charged?
Charging method: How can I charge the modules individually?
Tools: What tools do I need to disassemble the pack and charge the modules?

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated! I'm in a bit of a time crunch, so any help is welcome.

Uh, I wouldn't like to be in your place.

1. Doesn't the Fiat 500e use a Lithium-ion battery pack? Going deeper, it is a NMC (Nickel managemnt cobalt oxide).
2. The module voltage is around 364-365V when is full. The battery pack has 97 cells in series, all divided into more modules. This means each module has a fully charged voltage of about 4.2V per cell.
3. Is there any reason why you should charge the modules individually? I don't get it...
Anyway, there are some steps:
- disassemble the battery pack - just be careful. It is quite attention-demanding.
- use a Lithium-ion balance charger (don't forget to configure it for NMC chemistry and to set the charging voltage correctly...)
- when you charge each module (up to 4.2V), just be careful not to overcharge them...
4. replace the HV connector - you might repair it with epoxy... but you don't know if there is any damage on the electric side.
5. Tools
- some basic ones, like torque wrenches, screwdrivers, socket sets (for disassembly)
- insulated tools - for safety (go for those rated for at least 1000V)
- iCharger or Revolectrix - to balance the individual modules correctly
- multimeter
- HV gloves and safety equipment.

Do you have all of these? If not, maybe go for an EV specialist... financially speaking.

P.S. I found all of this typing on Google... so...

Damn, @MacarenaSeat24!!! Who are you? That's solid. It freaks me out, haha! @Ch0c0latel0ver. If you think about a mechanic, I think you have him here.
Joking!
I hope you will fix your car issues.

Thanks! I have experience...fortunately or unfortunately...
