I think building and/or buying a grid charger is also a must for battery health. I built a dumb charger. My 2000 has its original battery, I think, and while its capacity is down a bit, it doesn't cause me any problems.

Once you get some RE92s, make sure you keep an eye on tire pressure, I.e. as high as you feel comfortable with. Many go 60 PSI+, depending on what kind of potholes you deal with.
Can you program the Gauges shown on the C&C to be displayed on the SG-II? Cause I don't think I can afford 150$ for another OBD-II computer .

I would really like to build a grid charger. My battery pack has been replaced 6 years ago and I'm sure that grid charging could improve its SOC range.

Once I get the RE92, I'll probably inflate them between 50-60 PSI. I don't want to inflate them more than 60, because my rear shock absorbers are broken. For now, my winter tires are inflated at 40 PSI.
