I'm working on a few last tricks to get these NiMH cells working. I think my charger is not correctly set for the voltages, I reprogrammed this charger many months ago but I never really verified it. So this weekend I will take a look at the charger and try raising the voltage a bit. The last few drives have been better and better, but the other day I noticed the charger shutting down before a full charge. On my last drive I was able to pull 19 AH and I still had power left. I then left the car with the heater on and pulled a total of 38 AH so there seems to still be life in them.

I'm also now looking at getting a new set of CALB CA60 cells if these last few attempts at a revive fail. Funds should open up after tax season is over so I can afford a brand new pack.
