Last night I got time to work on the car. It still would not charge, so I turned up the charger's shutoff voltage. Previous to this when it was working, the charger was turning off right around 56.3V. After turning up the shutoff voltage, the charger did start charging The pack voltage stayed around 54.7V for quite some time before finally increasing. I finally disconnected it before retiring for the night. It was then at 55.7V and had pulled ~2.5 kWh. During this time I got no alarms and the batteries stayed pretty well balanced. Unfortunately, I won't be able to use the car today as I am not carpooling with the wife. Tomorrow will be the first day with the pack on in a while.
