Charger puts out 350 mA, 200V max. Pack's cooling fan is powered by 12V while charging.
1:44 AM 171.09 V (I went back to sleep after checking V)
5:13 AM 171.50 V
5:46 AM 171.51 V
6:20 AM 171.51 V
6:50 AM 171.46 V
See how the V climb became very slow, then it stopped climbing, and then V began to dip? Was I right to discontinue charging? Should I have continued till the voltage climbed again, or stabilized? We're talking changes in hundredths of a volt, I'm not certain what tolerance I should look for when looking for changing vs stable voltage.
Thanks.

I really don't care to discuss the same issue with the same person across multiple forums (and PMs) - particularly about a pack that is under warranty. All you need to do is contact bumblebee. He will send you a replacement, you put it in and send the old one back. Your down time is limited to the swap time.
