Re: Battery variations

[Michael Bearden <techsan@pacbell.net>]

Well...I started this thread, so I want to check in with a report.  I
have been using the few regulators that I have on the highest voltage
batteries at the start of charging, and doing extra charging
individually on the two lowest.
Today's result-at the end of my ten mile drive home, all 24 batteries
are within a .05 volt range.  I didnt have an opportunity to check
batteries at work, and I did charge there (I turned down  the Zivan to
accomodate the lower voltage there).
I have to say, I am very pleased with this, as I really want to keep
driving. I did get my first "new" regulator working this evening, thanks
to some righton advice from the Madman..(I got a "thank you" coming your
way, Rich..)
As long as I keep getting results like this, I feel safe in continuing
to drive.  If I dont have time monitor the batteries individually, I
wont drive it..in the meantime, there really IS an EV grin...
