now insight battery shortage... replace it with civic battery... =_="

Just received call from my SA, the reason of the tax cert not approve is due to the IMA battery with this new batch which installed with Civic hybrid battery. There are 8 insights in their store facing this issue due to shortage of insight battery. He said I will receive a letter Honda Malaysia these few days on the delaying. Either wait for insight battery or new batch with the right battery.  Really bad luck for me... sad.gif

Actually, I don't buy this as well....

1) The size of the batteries, do they physically fit each other?
2) If assuming that it does fit, does it function better/poorer? Civic Hybrid 1st gen's battery or are we talking 2nd gen Civic Hybrid??
3) Assuming it's all true, it fits, and functions better, and QA Honda releases it.
4) Why would the Msian customs block it??

ohmy.gif Is Sanyo plant affected by the earthquake/tsunami?

Or Honda scalvaging (recycling) old Civic battery pack and modify it for Insight use? To some this is big hoo haa or a no no. Well if this is real, I dont see any problems actually because both uses same NiMH cells ..just taking out the new cells from the Civic battery pack (since Civic Hybrid already EOL) and repack into Insights IMA battery pack. After all ...that's what GREEN is all about. As long as 5 years warranty is valid...I think shouldn't be any problem.

Hmmmm, if let say our battery suppose to last up to 10 years then after all the repacking and only 5 years warranty given. That's mean we have been cheated and taken advantages to accept refurbished battery just like 3rd world country.

I think you got it wrong by using the word refurbished. Repacking the "new cells" has no impact on service life. Perhaps saying it this way is easier to understand, just changing the container. Anyway all these are just our speculation. No official words hence guys reading this please don't take it too seriously. wink.gif

Refurbish mean Recondition so I believe is the correct term if let say they repack the new cells on an old battery/PCB. As wat u mention, it's just our assumption. No need to take it too serious.

Some suggestion from SA for me...
1. Full refund.
2. Change model.
3. Wait for new battery pack shipment and change it here (not CBU already?)
4. Wait for new batch car with right battery.

Yes. I will call H.M when receive their letter...

Not worth to give up now since u have waited for so long.

Call HM for proper explanation, dun trust what SA said. Check whether u have any requisition number. Something not right to have such a long delay, so more you booked it before the launching.
