    Is the battery’s the same in the cars? Will the 2.0 battery pack fit in a 1.5 without any modification?

    As a complete unit, no, but you can swap the sheets from one case to the other.

    I think the slight difference is the 1.5 gets it 12v power from the ESS where the 2.0 has a separate 12v battery which I hear is a constant headache.

    I have a 1.5 car without a battery pack. And im wondering if I buy a 2.0 donor car, is it possible to get this to work in my 1.5.

    It should be not too hard, if you can find the battery. They're pretty rare.

    No, the battery packs are different.

    There are some similarities, and common parts, but you can't simply put a 2.0 pack into a 1.5 car without any modification.
