Drove from Long Island to Rochester, NY yesterday. Stopped an Tannersville, PA supercharger on the way and continued up to Rochester. When we reached Victor, NY (just outside Rochester) the car was down to 30 miles, so we did a "pit stop" When I plugged into the charger, it quickly jumped up to 476 miles per hour. We walked into the local mall, used the facillities and walked back to the car. The A/C system was screaming. Heat was pouring out of the front of the car. I assume that this was the A/C trying to cool the battery because of the high rate of charge.
My question is--- Is this rate of charge safe for the health of the battery? I've seen rates of 350 MPH, but never 476.
