How an eBiker evaluates a DC charger & battery capacity

[markz]

OK I dumped Linux laptop install, I got to a certain point and I couldnt go any further.
I went to desktop, installed LogView on Windows o/s.
I can get to LogView program, list of chargers from New Project, my charger aint on there. I tried "skyrc b6ac +" assuming its the same as b8plus, but mine is DC, I power on charger says SkyRC upon initialization.
I plugged in cablen, computer recognizes it, Windows cant find any drivers. Asked for USB to UARD Bridge.
I go to google, typed in USB to UARD Bridge, got Silicone Labs, installed software.

Now I plug in cable to charger, computer doesnt recognize hardware.
I Open new project, same list of chargers.

Will keep trying!

Just a quick bump and "winning" for BMS - I left town for a week or so and forgot to unplug my controller-battery after my last ride leaving it to idle on mostly depleted battery. Thank heavens for BMS - 'did it's job and protected a relatively new pack of HK RC Lipo from over discharge damage! Try that with a "naked" pack...
