After charging last night for several hours during off-peak hours, this morning I turned on the
ESS and it went to
GTI Mode during shower and breakfast
When I left home for work, and switched it to
Forced Charge Mode and placed
Karotz - rabbit webcam - in front of the
voltmeter
The
battery pack voltage climbed nicely all morning ...
until it reached the programmed
charge voltage limit of 28V (3.5V per cell times 8 cells), as you can see the upper left red is ON, meaning the voltmeter
relay opened and the Charge
Contactor opened as well, and all the
chargers stop
As a result, the pack voltage drops slowly to 26.6V (3.32V per cell times 8 cells), which is normal ...
After and hour or so, I still have the same pack voltage of 26.6V and it does not seem to move anymore at this point
Tonight, full discharge of the ESS battery pack in GTI Mode - Normal Automatic Mode -
