nearly complete discharge of the old pack
|
After some on line discussions about the effects of reverse charging the cells, and my experiment where I purposely reverse charged a cell to see what happened, and found little change in the cells capacity. I decided to take the sticks that I just pulled from my silver insight pack, and do an experiment. This photo is the progression from when the discharger detected the first cell drop out in stick 3, until I stopped the discharge when the pack had discharged to 30 volts. We can see that the rest of the sticks gradually dropped out in a random way, with several of the sticks being completely discharged and reversed charged.
