First test of the Full Battery Pack

We headed out around the block with the new 84V 60AH battery pack.  Starting out in 2nd gear to keep things gentle, Jane climbed our hill with little hesitation.  Next we headed for the short flat stretch of street around the corner and in third gear, she got right up to speed.  Here is a video of us returning home.   You will see the pack mounted in the boot along with the battery monitor leads.



Even under the full hill climb, the pack only sagged to 80V, still close to 3.1V per cell.

Next - Clean up.  Lots of cables and mountings to sort through.   However, it is a great motivator to be able to see it all coming together.  Also, a quick run down the to the non-hilly part of the neighborhood for a real speed test.
