    An issue is the original 12 Volt Battery, because the terminals on the factory battery are skinny, they want you to buy their expensive 200$ batteries. You can use a cheaper battery of same size with standard american terminal posts if you get replaceable cable adapters and swap the tiny ones out. I would watch a you tube video on that subject first if you attempt to do the job yourself.
    Warning, put a rag or something to block the hatch back latch so you don't close it with no 12V power. I did that and had to jumper the car to get it back open(shame on me LOL).
