Hi Guys
Some of the recent test have shown that the SOC determination which is based on the hall effect current sensor output can be easily fooled into thinking that more or less charge is happening, and therefore it would be pretty easy to fool the system into charging a bigger pack, as the SOC determination is solely depending on this output.
The full charge determining circuits, and recal producing subpack voltage monitoring systems would have to be fooled as well, and from what I have read, lead acid will have a much bigger droop in voltage when drained at the 100 A rate than the saphion's or the Nimh subpacks, so it could be an issue.
I have not read the link at the begining of this thread(too busy trying to get ready to ship MIMA), but will be looking into the battery issues once that hurdle is crossed.
:wink:
