36V 15AH battery...when to charge?

[destructimo]

Hi All,

Now the conversion is working properly I was wondering what voltage is it sensible to recharge the battery?

It's a 36V 15AH frame battery with intergral sine wave 9A / 18A controller with a 30V LVC (which is what the LCD3 meter is set to also) running a GBK Q100 front hub motor.

I've done just under 60 miles on it now over the past couple of days and the voltage is reading 37.2V (yes I do like to pedal!).

Quite impressed by the range so far.

It will charge to 42v so can charge any time, the more you run it down the longer the charge time. Lion bats don't have a memory as the old NiCad's seem to have had so part charging isn't an issue.
