Range brain infects me too ! Arrrrrgh , need a crew that rows faster and longer...
I'm not at the level you're testing things as all I have is the factory batt pack so far . (I have ordered another for now though , lol ) The current plan is just don't let the pack go below 20%, ever. (1 of 5 bars on the display)
It's hard to decide when to turn around now (3 bars?), the extra pack will let me run it down to 20% and THEN turn around ! Not sure of the actual voltage levels at each "bar" but am trying to check as I notice the bar level changing.
I have been trying different speeds to determine the resulting range and going 10 mph vs 20 mph increases range a LOT.. not to mention wind chills are more comfy on my old arthritic extremities ! (42* yesterday and 48* is today's wake up temp, highs still making it to the 60s and maybe 70 this weekend).
Of course I have been following your efforts so other plans are forming as well.. So far I have a couple of B-boosters ...
A year from now we will probably be in a solid state or maybe aluminum ion or sodium world . (it's all vaporware for now) I like the 5 minute charge and greatly increased range but the devil is in the details , we'll see I guess.
Hold yer course , keep your crew happy .
