    Help I currently own a year 2000 Honda Insight and am looking to replace the battery where would be the best place to buy from? I am currently thinking about bumblebee but I heard that reconditioned cells are crap.
  2. Modifications and Technical Discussions
    I have made a battery pack using 4.2v lithium cells from old laptops in a 3x7 cell arrangement (multiply voltage by 3 and multiply capacity by 7). I have a dead 12v acid battery in my Honda Insight 2010 and I want to replace it with my homemade lithium battery pack, however, a straight...

    After reading and re-reading everything I can find online and here about Bumblebee, Hybrid ReVolt, etc, etc, I would appreciate some frank opinions about which of these is the best value. I am leaning towards Bumblebee because of their included 3-year warranty.

    Hallo Everyone! I have a 2000 Honda Insight at 130,000 miles. I just found out that my battery pack needs to be replaced...

  9. Problems and Troubleshooting
    Hi, I have a 2000 Honda Insight with 180K miles on it which I have owned for around 1 year. The IMA battery performance definitely dropped off a lot recently. I got an IMA error at one point which stopped the hybrid system from working and when the 12 V battery ran dead I charged it, which rest...
