It is a Mitsubishi i-MiEV.
I can't imagine a cell approaching 4.12 after 30% charge.

Paul,
Were you charging Leaf or Bolt?
I charged my Leaf twice at EMW's CHAdeMO fast charger which can go up to
120A
And I too noticed that after a short initial max power charge, it starts
to taper.
I had my LeafSpy Pro display the cell voltages and it is easy to see
that the reason
That the Leaf is tapering the charging by the CHAdeMO station (the
station will
Happily provide 120A all day long) is because the Leaf BMS sees a cell
approach
The high voltage cutoff (approx. 4.12V) and will tell the CHAdeMO
station to cut back.
With the cells rising higher in SoC, the current drops to keep the cell
at or below the
High voltage cutoff.
Hope this clarifies,
Cor.

I don't know what stiffen the pack means. Sounds made up.
I did watch my car charge on a chademo charger though. I had 15 miles
range showing when it started. It said 27 minutes to charge. It started
at 100 amps. After about 8 minutes I was up to a 60% charge and it was
charging at 48 amps. It had steadily dropped as it charger. Not sure why
they do this but I suppose they don't want to overheat the cells.
I don't believe it's necessary based on my testing of LiFePO4 but maybe
these other chemistries heat more rapidly. At any rate chademo doesn't
use consistent power to charge if they did it would be much faster. I
don't know if ccs does the same thing.
