Before I destroyed my super brain, I was working on the internal resistance. It would seem all my sub packs were in decent shape. one stick has a capacity of 5400 (which was the lowest) and one stick couldn't hold a charge like the others, but only dropped down to 7.3 volts, the others sat around 8.
From the sounds of it I might be able to have the car back on the road in no time. I ended up getting one stick on ebay in hopes of replacing the one stick that drops to 7.3 volts.
The stick at 5400 might be able to be revived with another cycle or 2.
As far as my measuring of the IR I will try again soon. It seemed my super brain was able to stabilize in 8 seconds at a 6 amp load. and was taking a measurement at 20 seconds. The next time I run this test I will up the discharge to 10 amps and get the voltage measurement within a few seconds after stabilization.
Ian, you have me thinking that I may be doing the capacity ratings wrong. All I did was record the discharge values and charge values taken from the super brain. (excel spreadsheet on the OP) Am I missing something? I have seen others record their time it took to do a discharge and charge as well, but I didn't think those mater. I feel I might be wrong now.
