September 13, 2011, Tuesday: Today, I drove another 10.2 miles. The Ford Ranger Electric Vehicle arrived home with a state of charge was ~75% or 152 Volts. Started automated charge of the Full River DC-250 AGMs with our PFC 30 Manzanita Micro Charger at 6:30 PM, at 28 Amps:I checked back at 7:35 PM at 12.2 Amps. Regulators on the peak batteries were regulating. Battery pair data below:
Peak voltages read were:
Reg 1: 14.63V
Reg 2: 14.50V
Reg 3: 14.82V
Reg 4: 14.42V
Reg 5: 14.34V
Reg 6: 14.48V
Reg 7: 14.70V Highest
Reg 8: 14.39V
Reg 9: 13.92V
Reg10:14.23V
Reg11:13.85V
Reg12:14.12V 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 7:45PM. Total charge time was 1 hour and 15 minutes. Total miles driven since the conversion is 561.8.
