Bill - thanks a lot for posting this. First Li-ion home conversion I've seen. You're a pioneer!

I bet you'll get a lot of people wondering about cost/mile estimates for the lithium batteries vs. lead. I know that may not have been the reason you chose that chemistry (range was, I'm guessing).

I've seen your posts on the EVDL as well. Did you ever experience the "bucking" and temporary controller shutdown again on your steep hill?
