We've had issues with the pixel devices on autophone-1. pixel-04 was overloaded and spent a great deal of time charging. When I split the work between pixel-04 and pixel-06, pixel-06 appears to have discharged completely after testing the close to 100 build backlog and we've suffered a rash of disconnections on autophone-1. 

I've read where pixel devices can suddenly drop from a reported battery charge of ~30% down to 0% in a very short time. Our current battery range is 33-67% which means a device will continue testing until the level reaches below 33% where it will pause and wait until its level reaches 67% before beginning testing again.

I'm going to move the range to 40-80% to give the pixel devices a little breathing room to keep their charge from falling below 30%.
