Hello; I'm eager to repair my 2000 Insight battery, but I see a negative review of the Super Brain 989, on "A Main Hobbies". So please, what is the relevant character of this charger? I would like to search about for another, unless this is good enough for two repairs.

Can anyone represent that I'd better use the "warranty" at Hybrid Battery Repair? I got the battery back from their fixing P1447, and in 3 months the light came on for P1449. Then I waited, waited, driving the car moderately. [Is that damaging?] It abruptly died in a blaze of dashboard lights.

After weeks of dormancy and battery Off-On, I brought back the old Honda lead-acid battery [# 34B17R(S)-M] which started the car fine. The SOC topped off at 4 bars tho I never had low bars prior. That little battery soon faded.
