    Ok so this weekend I did a 2 cycle charge discharge on my 2011 Prius. I have only done this one other time but it seems like when on the second discharge it never goes down to 134 it will stop at 187 or something and make that noise and stay on idle. After a full balance it did charge up to 243 only 241 in the pic below I forgot to take a picture before I unhooked it. Has anyone else experienced this or know what it means?

    Are you sure it didn't automatically stop at 134v and then float back up to 187v minutes later?

    I have the newest model, I wasn’t at home so I guess that is a possibility. In your experience how long does the discharge process take?

    Every battery will differ, but it should finish at 134v in under 8 hrs.

    If it was discharging and you found it in idle, I’d say it made 134 volts;).

    Once you get below 190 volts, the discharging cycle is much faster. If you’re not out there when it happens, it bounces back quickly:cool:.

    Good luck with your reconditioning and keep us posted .
