What type charger you running? I've got an NG5. Today I plugged in while I took a trip out of town in my F250. It only had 9.5 miles on it and averaged 850wh/mile. However what I'm finding is if I plug it in and keep an eye on the ammeter I have installed and unplug it as the charge amps taper off about half, the w/m is dramatically less. I've gotten around 500-525. The finish charge consumes a lot of power! I can't wait to get Lithium!!!
