    Happy New Year World!
    Let's hope 2021 is nicer than 2020!

    First Charge:
    09:24 20201231 228V 356mA
    11:02 20201231 241V 356mA
    22:34 20201231 248V 356mA
    09:55 20210101 250V 356mA

    First Discharge:
    09:56 20210101 249V 2.29A
    15:45 20210101 191V 0.22A
    18:15 20210101 completed, bounced back to 192V

    Second Charge:
    18:20 20210101 203V 356mA (no bouncing!)
    11:05 20210102 239V 356mA
    13:15 20210102 243V 356mA
    22:00 20210102 247V 356mA

    2nd discharge:
    22:04 20210102 238V 2.26A
    02:44 20210103 191V 0.22A 4h 40m
    03:00 20210103 187V 0.22A
    04:12 20210103 108V 0.22A 6h 05m
    04:14 103V 0.22A
    04:15 101V 0.22A

    Third Charge:
    04:20 20210103 198V minimal bouncing…

    OK, so we're only just over ½ way through the process, but so far I think it's looking pretty good! I notice that there is only minimal or no bouncing at the start of each of the charging cycles, whereas I've noticed when I've done the reconditioning in the past that the voltage has been bouncing up and down like the proverbial "whore's drawers" (thank you Dad!), although @jeff652 says bouncing is quite normal!

    BTW I'm doing the 134V, 101V, 87V sequence this time…

    …more later! Happy New Year everyone!

    The voltage bounce you refer to is what occurs below 203 Volts, or something else:whistle:?

    First discharge cycle at 9 hours seems a bit long, but the process is looking good;).

    Stay safe (y).
