My, how the weeks seem to slip by. I have finally gotten around to replacing the 16 amp plug on the end of my original charging lead and it is back in use, and I now have the other one back in the boot as my spare for any opportuinty charging if I am out and about.
I am still slowly putting on the miles in my car and last week had a couple of days where I did 50+ miles. One of these was with only a short charge in between journeys. With the colder weather we had last week I was a little concerned about doing the trip, but i think the small charge that I did get made all the difference. Not only with putting some charge back in to the pack - but simply that it also warmed up the pack a little as well which helped in keeping the voltage a bit stiffer. It did help with me taking the back roads on the final leg home and keeping the speed down for a lower power draw.
The mileage is now just over 15,200.
