    Reconditioning my 2005 Prius battery again. after running five cycles on several modules I get numbers like this or similar to this with several charge numbers that are low. Wondering if I should toss those. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated

    Using a RC hobby charger to determine module capacity is a bit of a guestimate. Use the discharge value, as that sort of measures the "actual" voltage and amperage that is leaving the battery.

    The charging value measures what's leaving the charger- you have no idea how much of that is being converted into waste heat in the battery.

    Thank you I also have some modules that max out at 7500 milliamps on the charge cycle. Would that be an indication of a good or bad module?
