Introducing the cell log 8

Initially I clipped the wrong fin and had inserted the dang thing upside down. And for this reason the reader didn't work? Okay. Well. I clipped the other fin this time. And looked carefully at the picture of the fellow on endless-sphere using his cell log 8. Voila.

I can now measure up to 8 cell voltages at a time. My plan is to take pictures with my camera. And then track. Certainly should speed monitoring.



Here's a pic of the "bad" battery readout. Turns out 3 cells are low by .2v. That's a lot really. Yet the cell voltage isn't dropping and the cells seem unharmed by the crash. Was there a problem with the OEM battery charge/monitoring? Who can say.

So I am going to charge to balance and then exercise the battery some to see if I can return it to normal function.

That would be 2.125kw of sweet.

Note: this battery is not part of my install.
