I'm sure your batteries were "charged" but unlikely 100% SOC. Not at all being critical just saying investigate, learn, etc.
Darn now I want to go back to Yosemite. Last time we enjoyed the ice skating - do they still do that?
That whole battery not really charged completely thing I just learned last night. Explains a lot. I spent some time on a good blog/site called The 12 Volt Side of Life. Good stuff.
Yes they still have a rink. I believe it closes some time in March. Amazing place isn't it? I remember the first time we parked at Tunnel View. My Wife got out and started crying for joy. It was about then that I realized when I am on my death bed that I won't regret a minute or a dime spent on visiting such places. Life changing not to mention getting to watch my 6 year old daughter climb every rock in site. I hope you get back real soon! :)
