EV Toolbox

Before the accessory battery discharge yesterday, I wrote down a list of things to keep in the EV in case there was a breakdown out on the road. I came up with the following items. Any comments for additions or modifications would be welcome.

Emergency Equipment

• cable cutters
• small fire extinguisher (for electrical fires)

Repair Tools

• Haynes manual for electrical diagrams
• digital multimeter
• wire crimper and extra pink,blue,yellow quick-connect crimps
• two battery wrenches wrapped in electrical tape
• electrical tape
• extra cable lugs and hammer-based crimp tool
  
• medium hammer
• LED headlamp
• extra fuses (DC-DC converter anyone?)
• pre-made 24" battery cable with lugs (from NAPA)
• #2 philips/standard screwdrivers
• pliers
• small utility knife to cut insulation
• small 12V SLA battery to bootstrap the system if 12V battery dies

Again, what would you add/subtract/modify in this kit?

Next up: fixing the stranded car, looking at the PakTrakr and getting the heater fan to work.
