Enginer 2010 PHEV Technical Information

Well, I'm back after throwing my back out (from shoveling, not lugging batteries).....

Anyway, the buddy pack is assembled and "balanced" by hand. This is the first charge (w/o the computer...I'm still waiting for the individual usb monitors to arrive) looking for the variation between cells. I put in some charge each day and read the resting voltages the next. (there is one day w/ no charge, also the very last reading was w/ 3 days wait)



Weak cells should still show up, but not quite as strongly (ie exploding ?) It would be ideal to individually measure each and every single cell and sort them to average the capacities but I'm not that patient. I'll do a few charge discharge cycles of the whole pack and try to do my balancing at the bottom.

I have to do my car work ouside so I'll be waiting for a break in the weather before it goes back in the car.....good timing for bench testing!
