First gen Insight battery swap?

My gf planned a weekend getaway, to some resort that charges $22 a day for parking! But it turns out they have free parking for hybrids. My theory is that they are so high up on the mountain that they figure no one will make it up there! Ok ok you Prius guys would have no problem, but my antique with a dead battery pack would be holding up traffic. So, since my other twin has a functioning traction battery, I was thinking I would swap the batteries. Is this something that a few mechanically inclined people could handle? I was going to drive to the yard the other twin is at, park them back to back, and do it guerilla style with a helper or two. Any advice? The day I pay $22 for parking is the day I start paying retail for cars lol.
