for sure we want to get a grid charger. The plan is to maintain this new battery, and recondition the old one, then maybe sell that one. Or hold onto it as a spare, but I have a feeling this new battery might outlast the car. I'd like to get to 300K with the car. (currently 185).

We're leaning towards building one as it's so much cheaper although it does require some time...but the local ski area doesn't have much snow yet so our weekends are pretty open at the moment. This morning I was saying to John that we should eco-mod the car to use both battery packs. :-) We have so many mountains here, that the battery gets used up quickly, and charges quickly. Although not sure anyone actually does this.
