RAVolt maintenance & 16 mile drive

I finally got around to watering the RAVolts dry batteries. I gave them a nice long drink of electrons to see if I can get my range back into the 20s. They demonstrated their appreciation by making the RAVolt smell strongly of boiled eggs. Did I mention that I HATE boiled eggs? Do I think you care? Don’t answer, I know it’s a double “no.”

Anyway, I took the family out for egg flavored yogurt and a joy ride tonight. We were able to cruise 16 miles with two long climbs on 360 at highway speeds. The batteries were holding up nicely and I’m feeling optimistic that I did not completely crush them when I got stranded.

I’m planning to equalize the string (trickle charge 1 at a time) tomorrow after charging tonight.
