Hi Ben (or Tim),
Another basic question then: can the Enginer plug-in kit be used in place of the stock battery? In other words, if the stock battery was old and failing, could you just buy an Enginer kit (or similar) instead of buying a replacement stock battery?
Since it sounds like the DC to DC converter is a "one way" connection, even if you could use the Enginer without the stock bettery -- you could not then have any regenerative braking. :-(
And now, my curiosity is peaked: do any of the other plug-in battery kits use high voltage packs that run in "direct" parallel to (or completely replace) the stock battery?
