Re: Regen Braking
Willard continues to fail to provide evidence of what he posted about the effect of outside air temperature on regenerative braking in a FEH. He is known to twist and turn and move off topic in his replies. He should be ignored in this section of Greenhybrid.

Re: Regen Braking
I was aware of the temperature effects on battery capacity but it is always nice to see charts showing it in the field.
A little off topic, it looks like there may be a source of E85 in Coleman AL, about 40 minutes from my home. This means I'll get a chance in the Spring to do some E30 testing with my Prius.

Re: Regen Braking
Yeah... I know the chart is old... handy to post, a pain to edit... but like you said, the picture stays the same... only the numbers on the Y-axis change a little. The peak on the chart becomes ~ 100 amps.

Re: Regen Braking
Why the divide by 2 of the left column numbers, what was their original meaning...??

Re: Regen Braking
I think Willard has you two in his ignore list (in User CP).

Hi folks,
As a moderator, our goals are to encourage a free and open discussion by:
One approach to 'bad speech' is 'better speech.' That means researching and posting well documented facts and data. A little harder, it means finding original source material that supports your understanding as well as running 'experiments'. It takes more work but often it leads to new insights for the researcher.
Another approach is "User CP" has an option that allows you to "ignore" someone you don't care for. We had a troll several years ago, a self described "Captain" who posted every hybrid skeptic lie and falsehood imaginable. But he was 'well behaved' and wasn't selling anything but a complete fantasy. Nor was he pursaded by facts and data, he had his anti-hybrid nonsense to spread. In his case, I got a lot of relief by putting him on my "ignore" list.
Play nice and we'll all have fun and maybe even learn something,
