Grid charging my car for the first time with my A/C charger.  This will give me a full charged battery any time I need it which will increase my mpg with the insight.
I used a headlight lens restoration kit to take away the haze on the headlamps.  It worked okay, I need to do this again.
I vacuumed, shampooed and cleaned the interior and the carpet.  It made a big difference.  The previous owner was a nonsmoker.  I still need to detail and fix some interior things.

This is the charger kit I bought off the internet.  It came with installation instructions.  I think I can have this installed and charging my car in about 2 hours.
Here you see the battery (IMA) uncovered.  There is a main on/off switch on top in the center.  The cover had many bolts and clips that needed to be taken off to remove the aluminum cover.
Here is the charger hooked up and charging my car's battery.  You can see the pigtail on the left side with the white connector.  The charger has a volt meter attached to it.  I hope my battery peaks out around 177 dc volts.  The charger helps re-condition my unbalanced battery packs.  It is good for my car to charge it.
I now have a "plug in" or "grid charger" Honda Insight.  I like the term "planetary responsibility".
