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.

What was the cost of everything? My pack is boned and I'm debating whether or not its worth it to sink $$$ into it, or just should for a Li conversion.
