Greg, he boiled the electrolyte over the weekend when unattended. There is no "if" and "disconnects" to this 3.65V. He did what he did, as I said.
Yes, the voltage settles down but the current drop is as you know very small. The top knee is more like a capacitor, a waste to enter.
The very people who created and defined the Li cell never trickle charged them. They simply replaced the charge in a constant current then cut it off at the AH required. It's all over their graphs, seminars, lectures and video's. I know you can recall Prof. Whitacres video........
Flattening a lead acid battery is a bad idea as any other.. I left my motorbike over this winter and it cost me £50 a year early.
People have unbalanced packs with cell log8's!! Their drain is not constant over each sensor wire. Some have had wires inexplicably burn up on them.
I don't even want to have a DC-DC converter in my trike never mind any other items that can and do fail. I'm working on using mains wiring units, 110v leds, alarm horns etc. This goes with all failure points.
Power to those who want them. Not me.
