Are there any battery stick supplier for the Civic Hybrid?

revolt told me I can google searched it, but I couldn't find the battery supplier. I was wonder if they could sell the 8mah battery stick and I put it in myself.

 

I have never found the 12-cell stick pairs as an option - only the 6 cell sticks. Will Hybrid Revolt or Bumblebee not cell you pairs? I would have sworn Hybrid Revolt told me they could sell new pairs for $110 or so.

 

Seems like both don't sell new sticks.

 

What other stores sell the entire pack?

 

Dorman sells packs, but they are a mix of new sticks and new. I think you can get them through NAPA. They discount one of the most common codes for warranty consideration. As such, I would only buy from Bumblebee or Hybrid ReVolt.

 

Yah, I'll buy from one of those later when this recondition pack is dead.

 

Do you grid charge?

 

No, I took it out and charged it individually. The life doesn't seem much anymore.

 

A LOT of benefit to be had with grid charging and deep discharging (to near 0 voltage) of the whole pack. IIRC, you used the IMAX B6, and those are turds. I have 14 of them... I know how worthless they are.

For less than $100, you can build your own grid charger with a separate discharger. Insight drivers are getting extra years out of their packs with this method. I have personally seen 25-33% increase capacity at 4-5A loads following a deep discharge.

 

Ok I'll try. I should just buy this and try ?
