    Totally agree. I always wondered why there was no coolant temp guage. Guess it gets too hot and throws a code. I would hope that it specifies a coolant issue. When my codes came up for the battery I still drove it home. What if the engine was overheating the whole time? :eek:

    I'm not sure you could do a programmed chg/dischg cycle with a split current using those chargers, but all good if you can.

    On the basis of what the car's BMS does, you should be safe to do that given the following:

    SOC % V per cell V per module Pack V
    1
    40​
    1.28​
    7.68​
    215​
    2
    80​
    1.36​
    8.16​
    228​
    3
    100​
    1.40​
    8.40​
    235​


    So I'd say between (and including) 7.68 - 8.16 V you can hit it with 5 A and outside that use only 350 mA.

    My $0.02, hope this helps.
