Christmas 2017

Well, here's what I did this year:
(the other one is done at the end of June)
Biannual Full Recondition of Traction Battery:
Date 20171226: Prius Hybrid Traction Battery long recondition 128,500 miles
Chrg1: 31 hours 248V 356mA
Dschrg to 134 V - 6:45 hours
Chrg2: 32 hours 247V 356mA
Dschrg to 84 V - 6:45 hours ("dead-cat-bounce" had taken the V back up to 190V when I checked!)
Chrg3: 33½ hours 249V 356mA
Dschrg to 17V ~ 7 hours (I started checking around 6:45, and the meter was at 60V, and dropped at 10V every 6 mins or so, and I was able to hit the 17V on the nail)
Chrg4: 40½ hours 250V 354mA (…yippee!) now leave for 2 hrs to recover!
Total elapsed time - 159½ hours (6½ days)
Last year I did it over the first week of the New Year.

(…there, I bet you're glad you asked! )

 

fortunately, we had enough alcohol on hand that i was able to survive my relatives.
i am thinking of a volunteer mission next year.

 

I assume that's just over the Christmas invasion period!

 

zacktly, i wonder if there is any need in the south of france?

 

Only for grumpy old men. Apparently they can't get enough of them, so if you think you could qualify....

 

oh? i was born grumpy. i have the t shirt to prove it.

 

i wish.
