I think you're incorrect, U slammed those batteries going to 46 volts.
46V means U ran them down 90%
U were about to run out of juice.....

Point being, this run was worst case I would ever consider, 160 mpg.

Sorry but I don't understand this 160mpg thing

The batteries I used for my test run are 3 1/2 years old, and show no signs of weariness.

They are about to, for sure, running to 46volts, that's as low as the charts go.
I think U made it home by the skin of your teeth.
This is just my opinion and or advice, your choice to follow it or not.
