October 9, 2011, Sunday: Today, I drove another 11.9 miles. Since the conversion and driving daily the EV truck has driven 688 miles without failure. Today, I did my first test today in the rain. Some improvements could be made, but all electronic were dry after a 12 mile run. The state of charge was ~60% or 151.1 V, when I arrived home today. Started automated charge with our PFC 30 Manzanita Micro Charger at 2:35PM, at 29.0 Amps. Charger reduced current to zero at 4:10 PM. Total charge time was 1 hour and 35 minutes. Warm peak pack voltage, absorption, was 175.0V.
Base voltages readings near the end of charge (5.8 Amps at 4:05PM) were:
Reg 1: 14.50V
Reg 2: 14.50V
Reg 3: 14.51V Highest
Reg 4: 14.50V
Reg 5: 14.50V
