August 24, 2011: Today I drove another 9 miles. The Ford Ranger Electric Vehicle arrived home with a state of charge was 75% or 152.6 Volts. Started automated charge of the Full River DC-250 AGMs with our PFC 30 Manzanita Micro Charger at 6:55 PM, at 28 Amps:
I checked back at 7:55 PM at 15 Amps. Regulators on the peak batteries started regulating.
Peak voltages read were:
Reg 1: 14.50V
Rge 2: 14.27V
Reg 3: 14.64V
Reg 4: 14.16V
Reg 5: 14.16V
Reg 6: 14.48V
Reg 7: 14.52V Highest
Reg 8: 14.11V Lowest
Reg 9: 14.15V

Warm peak pack voltage, absorption, was 175.0V.
Charger was completely automated and not manually adjusted during charge. Charger reduced current to zero at 8:15PM. Total charge time was 1 hour and 20 minutes.
