Family
- Woke up early to drive Jack to basketball.
- In the afternoon, when I got home, did a little bit of playing with the batteries ... and then stopped and played basketball with the boys until it got dark.
- Stopped with batteries to watch "Top Gear" (the Space Shuttle program) with the boys. Extremely funny.
Fitness
- Woke up with raging cold. Therefore, no run (don't want to make it much worse).
Electric Go-Kart
- Decided accelerator must be like a brake - handle that is pulled by fingers towards the steering wheel, and can be let go, with spring effect (immediately off).
- Batteries turned up. Hooray !!!
- Tested CellMeter-8 "Fuel Gauge". Properly tests batteries. Turns on to test, and directly to "Fuel Guage". The "Fuel Gauge" seems right. Testing will show whether it is any good or not.
- Tested Chargery BM6 cell tester / alarms ... They measure beautifully.
- There is a slight difference between CellMeter and Chargery. Tend to believe the Chargery.
- Of the 9 batteries that arrived, 8 are perfect (all within 10mV). One is slightly out of balance. After a short balance attempt, cells at:
- Plugged packs in to charge. Pack #1 - quick to charge, and very well balanced already. Pack #2 - not very balanced on charging. Took at long time to balance.
- Next 2 packs, charge beautifully and perfectly balanced. No problem.
- Worked on balancing the difficult pack. Disharged to 4.00, then discharged to 3.98. Closer.
- Then simply plugged into to charge and balance and left it.
- Had to turn it off when going to bed (2 cells at 4.20, 1 cell at 4.11). Much closer, but still not right.
Other
- Sorted out the "hire car" problem, for getting my car fixed.
