    For those with ScanGauge, I have found the best charge rate occurs around -30 Amps on the BtA setting using light to moderate braking. Anything significantly more results in less rate of change of SOC.

    Thanks Mike. I didn't think that Bestmapman's response was for me. I'll give it a shot and maybe have some peace and quiet while backing up.

    Sorry nerka I was just enjoying the homophone play. I have a research colleague who studies such homophone errors in common written communications like emails, IMs, chat room posts etc. and our likelihood of "catching" them when we read them. I intended no harshness nor ridicule. I do regret that you, and possibly others here, perceived it that way.
