    I've heard it takes longer to fill the last little bit of the pack than it does the first bit. Are there graphs or hard numbers I could see to better understand. I think knowing this would help me weigh my time vs. charging value a little better. Any of that make sense? :confused:

    I would show you what I got but my graphs are no longer being displayed on my thread. But to summarize, the last 10 minutes of the charging cycle the amperage drops from 12 amps to 6 amps.

    with my L2 charger, i can put 14-15 miles in my battery in one hour, and it takes the last 1/2 hour to add 1-2 more miles.
    in fact, yesterday i unplugged at 1 hour 15 minutes. i later plugged back in and it wouldn't charge anymore.
