    I just got a Honda Insight first gen and I’ve been seeing to lotion battery conversion. Is it better?? Should I do it instead of recharging my IMA system?? Or what are your thoughts.
  10. Honda Insight Forum 1st-Gen Discussion
    I have a 2003 MT Insight that I plan to keep on the road . . . forever. It started throwing codes and engine/IMA lights shortly after I bought it about 10 years ago. Got a lot of help from people on this forum. Brought it to a "hybrid shop," sticks analyzed and ??rebalanced, but ultimately...

    2000 Honda Insight 1.0 Litre I recently rebuilt the battery on my Insight in order to fix an IMA system failure to pass my smog check, however the new battery does not seem to be performing any better than the sticks I replaced.

  12. Problems and Troubleshooting
    Hi all. My mom has a 2002 CVT that has the IMA bypass with the BCM connectors removed. The 12 volt battery doesn't seem to be charging properly. I understand that it will only charge between around 1,500 and 4,000 RPM. Using a Bluetooth OBD reader and the torque app, I see the voltage is usually...

    Hi all. Recently bought a Honda Civic with a bad battery (IMA light, not charging). I removed the battery from the car as I will be deep discharge/charge cycling it.

    Hi all, I own a 2000 and a 2001 Insight. I bought my 2000 Insight about 5 years ago. I drove it for a few months, then the IMA light came on. I haven't driven it since. I bought the 2001 for parts for the 2000, but I decided to just fix it and have two cars. I only drove the 2001 home and...

    Hello all. I've spent the last one and a half hours on this forum reading up on IMA battery replacements, cells, suppliers and many other battery related articles. Perhaps so much that i am still a little bit dizzy from it! I have the good 'ol IMA issue in my 2006 Honda Civic. A half a year...

  18. Modifications and Technical Issues
    I was looking around the forum and figured out that since my IMA is toast and my 12v keeps draining, that I am supposed to cut the "green and black" wire to get DC-DC working or something. I also saw cofusing stuff about installing a switch. Please link me to this switch and decribe how to...
