enough range to make it home for the first time?

Range mode does more balancing than std mode. You may not notice it if your bricks are all pretty close in voltage.

I just spoke with the service mgr for my region who said a new firmware update is changing this so that it will balance the cells after a std mode charge. You won't ever have to do a range-mode charge just to balance it. I can't remember if he said he updated my firmware with it... or whether it will be in the next firmware update. I'll find out.

Yep, I just received a firmware update (4.6.3) that was supposed to address balancing and also the issue I had in the past with the J1772 adapter unable to recognize the 75amp line and dial it down appropriately. (I'll test that over at clipper creek in auburn when I get back home.)
