mikehingle - you have a way with words. What a pleasure. But we're not quite on the same page. You've explained the ringing. I'm still into the value of the 'spike'. It is my experience that v*i here seems to give the same values as the applied wattage during the on cycle. The difference is that the resistance for the path to flow is greater than the 'on' period as it has to breach the voltage of the battery as well as the diodes and so on.
Anyway - I loved the explanation of the ringing. I agree. It certainly adds to the heat dissipated.
