    OK, I've been doing lots of short local trips and a couple of more than 50 miles over the past week since latest short recondition over storm weekend, and I see that the SoC (ScanGauge) is spending most of its time in the high 60s and low 70s (%) this evening it achieved a never before seen (by me!) high of 73%, just sayin' - so thanks, @jeff652 (it really seems to work!), oh and BTW I'm getting ~46mpg overall.

    Great news! Keep accurate logs re. reconditions, gas in, miles driven, and Soc (if you are able to monitor -the MFD is sort of OK, but something like a SG-II is more accurate!) Keep us posted!

    Good suggestions ;)!

    No SG-II here though:(. I do have an OBD 2 reader and dash command to tell me the SOC, but I dont have it hooked up all the time, just when an opportunity presents itself.

    The HSI is what I have up all the time. I have only done one top up charge so far, but the HSI is showing better bars and longer time to drain:).

    Maybe @jeff652 has a spreadsheet or information he would like for his reference or marketing.

    I don't mind pitching in and helping out(y).

    can someone explain to me how this system works? How exactly does it propose to do any sort of balancing to a battery unless leads are installed on each individual module?
