What am I doing wrong?

This isn't where I read it the first time, but NREL has characterized the batteries pretty well. Sounds like my factor three was way off, but the charge rate is still lower than the discharge rate.

Edit: OK, this is the NHW11 battery, but the idea still carries over.

More info on NHW11- they state the max discharge rate at 80 amps and charge rate at 50 amps.

I'm just a bounty of links today. See this one:

This at least reinforces that gentle braking seems to result in more energy recovered than heavier braking.
