mm...still need to check group v's after charge is done. too tired to do it now--keep waking up from my crazy sister going in and out and banging around. i'd slip the metr leads and short somethng out for sure. hope i can check them tomorrow before i leave.
i was going to run an extension ribbon cable up to the bars for the first six groupss including the repaired one, so i could monitor with this maxpro 6s thingy that methods sent me in a box of stuff many months back, when i'd ordered a few 4110s to experiment with, and upgrade the fusin that i never got around to, and a throttle for a spare before i started getting a few donated ones.
but as he'd warned me the maxpro is not a good unit. i'll quote from a reply to him i just sent today, my reasons why my plan to stick the thing on the bars and watch for volt drop under load isn't likley going to happen.

You're right about it not being very good/accurate, and that it's tolerances are pretty wide. Cells I measured with a Fluke77-III to be all at 3.30 to 3.31V would come up as anything from 3.23 to 3.37V. :lol: Worse, it gets awfully hot and smells funny, if I actually have it hooked up to 6 cells. It's all warm and butter-toasty at 3 cells, and gets slightly odorific at 4, at 5 I'm beginning to get worried, and at 6 I am imagining smoke. :lol:
I was going to use it to monitor the first six groups on the Vpower pack so I could see the voltage sag on the repaired group vs the ones around it while I ride, but I am afraid it'll burst into flames while I'm riding.
