Hmm... appears to be an additional pack for PHEV purposes, though, not a replacement of the OEM pack:
Yup:

The above is not quite correct.
I have two MK1 Insights with replacement lithium packs.
1 with 50 x 40ah Hipower cells and 1 with 50 x 20ah A123 pouch cells.
The oem nimh battery pack has been removed in both cars.
I also have Mima or a version of it fitted to both cars.
The lithium packs are managed by my own BMS and several other mods are also used to fool the stock electronics into accepting the new cells.
All the development details are on the Insight Central Forum or the UK BVS Forum.
