Default BLS has been installed for a week.

All voltages are 8.xx, I am only showing the two digits (xx) to the right of the decimal point for the individual batteries in these charts.

ROAD TRIP! The Villages Florida

Miles are being measured by a free Black Berry application called GPSlogger. I then verify by looking at google maps.


First jaunt was 9.14 miles. Voltages taken as soon as possible upon arrival.
Code:
28     30     28     28     33     30     49.7
Second leg was about an hour later and was 16.25 miles.
Code:
06     07     05     06     12     09     48.3
48.3 is as far as I would like to ever discharge a pack of mine. I am very happy with 25 miles. In addition, the pack seems pretty balanced which is good. I can draw no conclusion yet about the affect of the BLS. Last night's numbers in fact look worse than the ride before the BLS. 48.3 now versus 48.6 then (see end of post #8). There are many factors involved in a range test like this, so we still will collect data and watch for trends.
