Default 48 vs 36 matter to some degree

I am surprised BB would suggest this actually. It is 11 miles each way from Brownwood to SS, 22 miles round trip.

A pack of 8x6v batteries will do that round trip close to 3 times. That would not be good for the pack IMO.

A pack of 6x6v batteries will do that round trip close to 2 times. That would not be good for the pack IMO.

I did a ride as a test some time ago with my 2 year old 8x6v t105 pack. I drove 50 miles and the pack was at 48.4 volts, 50% discharged. That is the most I like discharge to my packs.

That one time I continued the ride to 63 miles. At the end I had 47.6 volts.,
