Any update on your battery pack? I have had to replace the packs on my insight twice, once under warranty and once not. (I tend to abuse the batteries in the worst ways)

Now that the car is out of warranty I was thinking of making the next swap with lithium ions or even LiPo.

Are you still at UCLA? What are you studying? I am graduating UCI in a few weeks!

Our EE's on the racecar team built a pretty stout electric car using LiPos and they seem to think making the swap in my Insight would be doable, but I want to find out as much as I can about the electronics I will need to interface with first, such as battery nannying, interface with the charging system, etc?
