Recharging at 30 Amps now, all going well. Could be a lot more in fact, up to 300 Amps when using temperature monitoring, if only the charger would be able to do that.

Even a Powerlab 8 only delivers 40 Amps, why do they make only these toy-like chargers in this hobby ?

The finishing touch: I can now watch the battery voltage from the outside, just flick the red switch to have a quick look at the total voltage. The switch wasn't really necessary, as the voltmeter takes only 35 milliWatt for itself. 1300Wh/35mWh = .... a veryyyyyyyyyy long time, lol. (over 4 years in fact, selfdischarge not included). But I put one anyway, for example when charging the LiFe battery it doesn't make much sense to see the voltage, as your charger tells you that also, and the case is open at that time.

End of story, thank you all for watching.
