Hey I need a new 144 volt IMA battery for my poor little unwarrantyd salvage title Insight, does any one know where I could get one? i don't mind if its a bit used as long as its under 30k miles.

Can these Insight battery packs be purchased new? Have you looked into that option?

Inquiring Insight owner would like to know...

Hey so happy ending. I found a guy who happened to have one in his scrap yard out of a wrecked insight. it had 26k on it but i tested it with my meeter and it looked ok. its now sitting in my insight and i haven't had a single problem yet. the install was quite simple just a lot of screws.

the best part of it all was the guy didn't want the controller so he gave it all to me! i'm going to take that 144volt dc-dc off of that and see if i might be able to use it for my EV. SWEET!

I did look in to getting a new battery but i think you can only get it installed for $3000, not separate w/o installation.
