I am looking for a tecnichal description on how to manually charge a bricked Roadster without removing the battery from the car. Tesla service is not an alternative, I know that Gruber offers such a service but they are not near and I would like to know how it is done.

I tried to open the small lid on top of the PEM to acccess the cables coming from the battery, but the battery poles did not show any voltage.

I opened the battery near the top of the PEM and found 11 holes (I assume one for each sheet) with one 8-pin connector and one 12-pin connector with only 4 connected. I assume these are used for balancing/bleeding (bleed test) and getting data from the pack. Any documentation is highly appreciated.

I was hoping I could find somewhere to connect my voltage source and apply a very low current, this could sit for several days to charge the pack. Hopefully charge the whole pack in one operation, but each sheet/brick could also be charged separately.
