Battery Charge #34

August 23, 2011:  Today I drove another 9 miles. This Ford Ranger Electric Vehicle has been 100% reliable since it was completed and started continuous commuting on July 18th, 2011. The Ford Ranger Electric Vehicle arrived home with a state of charge was 78% or 153 Volts.  Started automated charge with our PFC 30 Manzanita Micro Charger at 8:30PM, at 28 Amps:
I checked back at 9:30 PM.  Some regulators on the peak batteries started regulating.
Peak voltages read were:
Reg 1: 14.50V
Rge 2: 14.50V
Reg 3: 14.51V
Reg 4: 14.08V
Reg 5: 14.29V
Reg 6: 14.45V
Reg 7: 14.57V  Highest
Reg 8: 14.49V
Reg 9: 13.90V Lowest
Reg10:14.49V
Reg11:14.29V
Reg12:14.48V
Warm peak pack voltage was 175.0V.
Charger was completely automated and not manually adjusted during charge. Charger reduced current to zero at 9:45PM. Total charge time was 1 hour and 15 minutes.  See photos showing regulators communicating and #3 regulating:
