Holy crap!!! I thought this was a 10kw charger. What's all this 10.5kW talk here! haha. That is so stinking awesome I can hardly stand it. Do you just use 220v, or do you do a voltage doubler like I think I read on that EVWerks website? Was the power factor correction hard? What constant voltage is being put into each headway? When I did a basic charger for the thunderskys, the higher the current going in, the higher the voltage seemed to be for each battery, I guess because of the internal resistance of the batteries. And they say you shouldn't let them go over "x" volts, but I think its' not really over 'x' volts if you are charging with lots of current. Do you wait until the whole pack reaches a certain voltage threshold?
