    Does anyone replace the original 1.3KWh battery with another large capacity battery without plugin accessory?

    To answer simply...no. There are several companies that are doing battery upgrades with substantial cost to the purchaser. One of the most prominent is Hypomotion A123 plug-in option. Another group is using standard lead-acid battery technology as a plug-in option.
