8/2/11: Drove 9 miles. State of Charge after was 152.6 V (75%). Ambient temperature at charge is 80C. Five BMS regulators installed and five are communicating. Set addreesses of all 5 regulators. Set High voltage limit for all 5 regulators to 14.5Volts. Big victory. Started Charge:
Turned current to 27.8 Amps (automatically migrated to 23.8 Amps because of ambient temperature) for 52 minutes to 170V. At this time, Regulators #2 and #3 Reach 14.50V. High voltage reached and regulators started regulating.
Turned down current to 20 Amps for 5 minutes to 170V.
Turned down current to 10 Amps for 12 minutes to 170V.
Turned down current to 5 Amps for 8 minutes to 170V.
Charge time was 1 hour and 17 minutes.
