I did grid charge and deep discharger (took it to .78v) using someone else's charger at 350mA. It cured the 1449, but only got me about 2000miles before got lesser 1447. I read here I should have maybe let it sit for some time after charging it first to let it soak in THEN a day or so later top it off and continue with discharge. Oops...
I feel like the grid charger in all honesty is just a bandaid to the real problem, which is the cells/sticks not working as intended less than 5.8ah (no longer hybrid worthy sticks just good for hobbies and robotics I've read.), high IR maybe? Still figuring out how to do this on a stick level.
I know I have a general idea on some of this, but I am just grasping still off what I have read and learned online. I am by no means an electrical minded person. I did purchase the book "Getting started in Electronics" by Forrest M Mims III on amazon. Its helping fill in some of the gaps. Anyways the grid charger is after I figure out which sticks are the trouble children (lol) and if can find a way to replace them first. I want to fix the problem it then maintain the pack with grid charger later. I am thinking more of a single power supply too that way it is cheaper and simpler. I need to figure out how to make a discharger to connect as well. Lame not much information about how to do that...money greedy people being stingy with information. :P
S Keith not certain what you mean by big ass charger the one my new insight buddy has is from hybrid auto or something. He likes it, but I'm not paying $400 for something I can do myself.
...Idea's on where to find good performing (6.5ah) fair priced used sticks?
