I wonder if this is due to the temperature-compensated voltage limit that Saft specifies? As the modules get warmer the voltage limit goes down. They may get a better charge in colder weather. What do you have for battery cooling? > Have you noticed a similar resting pack voltage? My pack is resting about 132v in the morning. I haven't had them up and running in cold weather yet. I'll know in a few months though... Ralph
