I recommend buying an entire wrecked car from an auto insurance auction.
That way you know why it's being sold (car wrecked, not due to
problems with the battery).
In many cases, if you can get the 12 volt system to power up you can
plug in a bluetooth OBDII interface and use LeafSpy to talk

Just some more or less random thoughts:

Years ago Lee shared with me a huge document detailing his experience
and the work he had done on his ComutaVan. I am sure it is still
somewhere in my collection of paperwork. Thank you Lee for all the help
you provided when I was struggling to keep my CCars running.

I have a (now no longer available for purchase) PakTrakr system that
reports on the voltage level of each battery, and this was

The main thing to be concerned about when buying used junk batteries, is that
a lot of them could have been from crash tests or factory rejects which have

batteries are worthless. I have had many customers send me battery

Thanks for mentioning it.
On the drive back from VA in my Leaf,
I told my driving buddy to take it slow.
I couldn't drive that slow (a bit under the speed limit),
but my friend did, and it helped a lot.

I do indeed miss Bob Rice. He couldn't speak a sentence that didn't
include some colorful saying or witty malapropism.
