Put your HF DVM in 10A mode and connect in series, so you can measure current. Put a second DVM on the battery, so you can read voltage. Use this table for recording Time, Volts, Amps. It computes the seconds, and I put sample times in. They need to be in the form of hh:mm:ss. Key voltage points are 158.4V and 132V. You should attempt to enter these at whatever time they occur. NOTE: Voltage will start to drop faster once you're in the range of 145-158V. You should increase your observations in this range. Once below 145, use your judgement as the trip to 132 will be pretty quick. I prefer to attend the pack constantly below 145V.
I recommend the car charge because the higher current charge from a deep discharge may help reactivate more material and improve capacity/lower internal resistance. Alternatively, if you want to measure your new capacity, you can repeat the discharge test 1 hour after terminating the grid charge. Record the same times, volts and amps as the prior discharge. Once you're at 132V, you're done, and you can compare the two capacities. If you do the second discharge test, get back on the road with a 1 hour grid charge and car charge via multiple 12V resets. No need to grid charge again after the car charge. Steve |
