    SOLD Hi all, I purchased this wonderful device new from RB Batteries about 2 months ago. I used it to cycle my Insight's old battery once. I have since gone to the dark side (I converted to Lithium via LiBCM), and so my CDC is up for grabs. This kit is complete and in like new condition. It...

    Hello. It has been a long time coming, but my 2000 Insight is just about ready to be actually inspected! The only thing that I have left is to charge the hybrid battery.

    Hello. I'm Aaron. I have a 2000 Manual transmission Insight and it's been sitting for about a year. It only has 101k miles on it. The IMA is completely discharged. I just had AAA put in a new 12v battery but it's not recharging because the IMA is discharged. The car does drive but doesn't...

    All, I lucked into a complete Insight Gen 1 IMA battery. All I can say about it is that it has been sitting, almost certainly for 2 or 3 years. Voltage was about 3.25 volts before any charging. I have a 250 mA trickle "grid charger", and have begun charging. Steep slope in the first 20...

    Previously I asked for some help identifying the anonymous grid charger that came with my Insight. The previous owner had had this installed in February of this year by an independent mechanic. But last week I acquired a Hybrid Automotive Prolong grid charger kit, so I replaced the old charger...

    I recently bought a Gen 1 Insight, which came with a grid charger. But this grid charger has no identifying marks that I could find, and I'm wondering if any other forum members can point me in the direction of the manufacturer.

    I got the dreaded IMA w/ Check engine light that threw the P0A7F Powertrain / Hybrid Powerpack Deterioration Code in my 2006 @ 133K miles. I'm sure the freezing cold helped that. (It drove fine without the battery boost, sure is gutless off the line, but fine once it gets going. Didn't detect...
