    Well, here's what I did this year:
    (the other one is done at the end of June)
    Biannual Full Recondition of Traction Battery:
    Date 20171226: Prius Hybrid Traction Battery long recondition 128,500 miles
    Chrg1: 31 hours 248V 356mA
    Dschrg to 134 V - 6:45 hours
    Chrg2: 32 hours 247V 356mA
    Dschrg to 84 V - 6:45 hours ("dead-cat-bounce" had taken the V back up to 190V when I checked!)
    Chrg3: 33½ hours 249V 356mA
    Dschrg to 17V ~ 7 hours (I started checking around 6:45, and the meter was at 60V, and dropped at 10V every 6 mins or so, and I was able to hit the 17V on the nail)
    Chrg4: 40½ hours 250V 354mA (…yippee!) now leave for 2 hrs to recover!
    Total elapsed time - 159½ hours (6½ days)
    Last year I did it over the first week of the New Year.

    (…there, I bet you're glad you asked! :eek::rolleyes: )
    ;):)

    Only for grumpy old men. Apparently they can't get enough of them, so if you think you could qualify.... :ROFLMAO:
