This has =revented continual analysis but are working with Brice and Micheal in a =eactive way as best we can. I've asked Dan to reach out to =rice to see if the operation of the system is back to the successful =onfiguration levels seen over the last few months. Dan relayed that he =as not heard from him in a couple days but I indicated that he needs to =ontinually inquire. Relatedly, I've rent you a few emails recently with no response. Just want to ensure you =re receiving them.

Regarding GSJ =ere is what's been achieved. -all Aquion battery =odules are wired to bypass the corroded, water damaged circuit boards =hat could interfere with charging profiles. -sunny islands (6) =ere downgraded to firmware version 6.0.02. This was done to allow a =roader, linear charge profile to be set -charging parameters =re now based on voltage set points rather than state of charge =alculations done internally with different references. -max charge voltage =as been set to 58.5V and the batteries will not stop charging untill a =oltage 1.5V over the set limit is a achieved for 15 seconds. This gives =hem the ability to serpase the previous charge voltage of 56.7V - the main issue =hat caused so much down time before was as follows. A target charge =oltage that matched the Aquion batteries was not possible with the =revious profile. Compiled on that was faulty Aquion circuit boards =reventing the batteries from properly charging to a suitable voltage. =quion, as we know, is no more, so it's impossible to obtain =eplacement parts. Aquions bms never met the as advertised performance =nd created more issues than we could have imagined. In short, the =hanged I made allowed for a higher, more suitable battery voltage to be =chieved and prevents the premature shut down we saw before. Again, sorry for the =elay, hope all is well Thanks Dan Chrisman 4 EFTA_R1_01835679 EFTA02624821  Senior Technical =pecialist Prosolar=LLC From: Richard Kahn <mailto: Sent: =/b>Wednesday, July 11, 2018 10:30 AM To: =/b>Brian Prosolar <mailto =1110.1.0lidden <mailto >; Brice Gordon <mailto Subject: Re: Friday June 29th can we do thursday morning or anytime friday when can expect =an's summary? please =dvise thank =ou Richard Kahn HBRK =ssociates Inc. 575 Lexington Avenue 4th Floor New York, NY 10022 On Jul =0, 2018, at 2:18 PM, Brian Prosolar wrote: Afternoon =ichard, Brad is traveling to =an Francisco for a conference and I'm boarding a plane to STX. ='ve asked Dan to write a synopsis of his efforts and we have =een monitoring for proper function.
