August 29, 2011: Today, I drove another 9 miles. The Ford Ranger Electric Vehicle arrived home with a state of charge was 73% or 151.4 Volts. Started automated charge of the Full River DC-250 AGMs with our PFC 30 Manzanita Micro Charger at 6:00 PM, at 28 Amps:I checked back at 7:05 PM at 12.2 Amps. Regulators on the peak batteries started regulating.
Peak voltages read were:
Reg 1: 14.83V Highest
Rge 2: 14.50V
Reg 3: 14.59V
Reg 4: 14.39V
Reg 5: 14.24V
Reg 6: 14.50V
Reg 7: 14.49V
Reg 8: 14.16V
Reg 9: 13.87V Lowest

Warm peak pack voltage, absorption, was 175.0V.
Charger was completely automated and not manually adjusted during charge. Charger reduced current to zero at 7:15PM. Total charge time was 1 hour and 15 minutes.
