My son built a handful of test units and I just finished testing them in my car. They are ready to go. Please touch base with me at sokoloff "at" atmc "dot" net if you have questions or if you want one.

Here is the initial thread about these units. They only work on the 451's.

Any plans to do a 453 version?

The original author of the code just got a 453 ED, so there's some chance but no promises. :shrug:

If and when 453 units are available, I'll be first in line...

How do you/would you use the information that this provides? Do you learn something from it that shows you the best charging routine for longest battery life? Or is it just for peace of mind -- "my battery is okay"-- and diagnosis when there seems to be a problem like low range? Even if it's just for curiosity's sake, it's a really cool thing, but I was wondering about practical benefits.

If you’d like I can send you a report I just ran a few days ago so you see what all the information that is shown.

I saw the report that was posted, thank you. I thought "Hmmm. Cool. What does it mean? How would I use this info if I understood it?"

It would be helpful/interesting is someone would go line by line and tell us what each thing means and any practical uses for that info.

Yeah. I’m still trying to figure out what everything means. I mainly look to make sure all cells are fairly uniform.

And if they are not, what do you do?

I take it in under warranty for a check. Once my warranty is up I’ll probably just go “oh well” and live with it.
