A customer called us up the other day asking to have his battery pack removed from his 2000 5-speed Honda Insight. His pack was worn out and he decided he will simply drive without the electric motor while he saves up the money to possibly buy a new pack.

He stopped by at lunch and fours hours later, we had removed the pack, taken all the cells out, replaced the empty pack, and set him up for gas-mode driving.

He still is getting great gas mileage, but with a little less oomph. Kind of like driving an low-powered 1980’s diesel. He won’t be winning the Indy 500 in it, but it is more than adequate for everyday  driving.

Of course he could have chosen a different option for his failing pack, but this is what works best for his situation.

Are you stuck with a bad hybrid battery? Not sure what to do?  Call me and I can help you sort through the choices, and then get you back on the road and enjoying your hybrid again.
