Sterling,

What we do is take one of the charged batteries and put it on the
front, and take your recently discharged battery and begin charging it
by itself until it reaches the voltage of the rest of the group, and
then clip them all together.

(except the one input battery), as I anticipate running the battery
rotation experiment (pending SDA Exp. 11), I am thinking that there
should be a way to introduce the discharged battery into the set of
charged batteries without just linking directly, causing a large flux
between the two. I'm thinking that it would be good to put a low
resistance (e.g. 10 or less ohms) resistor on the discharged battery,
so that its receiving charge from the charged batteries, is kept to a
very low amperage until the two are equilibrated, at which time I
would remove the resistor and connect the battery direct.

connected to the circuit, so that in effect, each battery "sees" the
charge signature coming from the circuit the same. After this
supercharging phase is complete, when I begin Exp. 9, rotating the
batteries one at a time into the input position, what I plan on doing
is to have the first battery in the set rotate into the input
position, and then have the one presently on input rotate to the end
of the line. My clips are such that I can do this without a heavy
readjustment of leads each time I swap things out. In fact, I
anticipate that I can keep the circuit running even as I am making the
change.

would do a similar thing there as well. The newest in would not be
hooked directly to the circuit, but would be buffered with a resistor,
so the flow of current between the batteries is low. I'm thinking in
the ballpark of a slow enough trickle that it would take half a day or
even a full day for the two input batteries to come to the same level
of charge, at which point, I would take the first out, cycle it to the
back of the output line, with a resistor, and cycle the first in line
from the output line into the input.
