Your correct that the dual rate charger will exceed the 350ma max when still not charged with the 1A rate, that's why the relay is latched, and will not reactivate the 1A when the voltage settles back. The voltage rise between 1A and 350 ma is not huge. I expect that the best procedure would be to set the 1A to 350ma charge cutback conservatively low for the first few cycles to see where your pack top's off. No need to do all the work at the 1A rate.

I spent the afternoon putting up all the 20 subpack traces, lots of information there.
I charge at 5-6A, and can hit it with A 30A charge. The voltage rise between the two rates is indicative of the cells Internal Resistance.
MIMA Honda Insight Modified Integrated Motor Assist - What actually goes wrong with the batteries????
Feel free to try and explain what we see, I am still trying to figure out the various things that the graphs show as well as trying to come up with a standard test sequence.
I think that subpack 10 and 12 are my IMA code setters.
No such thing as waste heat when you need to heat the house. consider it an electric heater that also charges the batteries.
