 Around 2:30pm, cells are solidly at 3.32V (with some signs of advancing to 3.33V). 6.2A, still over 20W.

+Left it charging overnight.
+Cells are now 3.33V, nearing 3.34V. Amperage has dropped to about 5A (17-18W).
+Still a far cry from where I'd like things to be.
+====20220428====
+Second consecutive overnight. We've been charging solid since Tuesday morning.
+Cells have reached 3.35V. Amperage is down to 3.45A (12W).
+====20220429====
+First serious run at the cabin. With panels wired for 24V and existing battery bank likewise, on a sunny day as this, I've been beyond pleased with the performance of my system.
+Cells drifted back to 3.33V.
+Now 4:18pm, cells measure once again at 3.35V (15W).
+====20220430====
+Another day of charging at the cabin.
+====20220501====
+While the sun is out, getting some charging in.
+Each resuming seems to restart us at the 3.32V/3.33V range, and a higher initial amperage (6A, 20W), and then dwindles throughout the day. Cells measuring 3.36V at the end of the day in recent days.
+====20220503====
+Started charging the second group of batteries.
+====20220505====
+Second group of batteries, charging since Tuesday, are now up to 3.32V.
+====20220512====
+After paralleling all 8 on Monday afternoon (20220509), and had upped the voltage to about 3.55V, I arrived today to find them fully charged at 3.4V (0A, 0W!)
+So, I upped it to 3.65V and left them to charge. Had a nice 7A+ going. Not sure if I am keen on leaving them to charge through Saturday. We will see. Pleased though that we seem to be wonderfully close to complete with this endeavour.
