additional 144v battery

[driveaninsight]

Hi there I have a second 144v battery that I got out of a wrecked insight...Has anyone tried to parallel a second battery? If so are there any special issues I need to worry about. should i charge the battery before installing or let the IMA charge it up? any input from experianced members appreciated. anyone reading this who is not a member but has tried it on their insight reply to keithvansickle01@yahoo

IIRC no one here has. But the technical discussions of what's involved can be found here:

Ultimately Mike decided to try a different approach given the other problems.

HTH!
