Metro, all I can say is that this is amazing. It seriously makes me want to go out and try to find an old Insight with a "dead" pack. I've always thought they were oddly gorgeous. Obviously though, a great deal of your savings came from pure luck, I suspect, given that not all lot owners would know that a dead batt can be revived like this.

What, roughly, do the tools you used (Super Brain?) and a Grid Charger cost if I decided to play with this.

I'm comfortable enough with things that can kill me, so I believe I'm competent to work on the IMA pack without shorting me or it out. Seeing as how the car can be safely driven without the IMA if you're careful (minding the 12V issues), I'd love to try this out. It'll also give me a good excuse to dump my Corolla, which I've felt almost nothing but apathy for since I got it.
