I should be getting an answer back from Lifeline this coming Thursday or Friday. Depending on the CEF 102% to 104% returned is a good analog indication that full charge parameters have been met.
But I went a few steps further. If an X number of usable cycles can be rendered from 100% recharging, then percentage wise how many cycles will be lost if the battery is constantly recharged to say, 90% total capacity? A genuine engineer is working up results of the analysis. Perspective is the name of the game in battery management. "Negatively Affected" is not a viable answer in my book.
What is the % charged when the rate reaches 0.5% of the rated AHs?
Lifelines charging formula estimates charge time if you know your missing AHs. When your Lifeline is resting at 13.06V, how many AHs are missing? What was the battery temperature? What is the temperature adjusted Voltage capacity?
What is the power factor of the mega-well-mean-watt power supply?
Numbers please. :)
