Maybe next time, for now congratulations on resurrecting the pack. If you have issues in the future, then at that point in time you may look to see if there is a pattern that repeats itself, which would be potentially correctible with a pack rotation strategy.

On FLA cars the battery nearest the pwm controller tends to die fastest, this may be a valid strategy (to a point)

I think most insight packs can be restored somewhat but you may end up with a tinker's pack that needs a little charge each day,

I think I could live with that, too bad the insight options around here are so blasted expensive.
