I just disassembled the entire bank, as one of the cells that had a slightly lower reading and it was the last cell.
There's 28, 7.2v nickel metal hydride cells in the bank, one read 6.4 volts and the other 7.2, where the others read 7.8. Those are all no-load readings.
Will I do it again! Absolutely!  |
I should have never made that statement. I had it apart twice this year. One cell-pack failed in April and replaced, another failed last week, just before I was going to the swap in Illinois.
