September 24, 2011, Saturday: I returned from a business trip this week. Today, I drove the Ford Ranger EV 16 miles to Landmark Ford to inspect/rewire/check out the airbags and seat belts, since the conversion. The EV truck has driven 633 miles without failure. The Ford Ranger Electric Vehicle arrived at landmark Ford at 150 V pack. They charged it there. On Saturday evening, the pack Voltage after returning was 150.2 V. I started the automated charge with our PFC 30 Manzanita Micro Charger at 4:30 PM, at 28.3 Amps. Charger was completely automated and not manually adjusted during charge. Charger reduced current to zero at 6:20 PM. Total charge time was 1 hour and 40 minutes. Warm peak pack voltage, during bulk phase was 175.0V.
