Paul & Sabrina: you amaze me. (Well, anybody who's not slow at projects, like me, amazes me.)
A thought after seeing the temp protection circuit: you might want to ramp up the current when exiting thermal protection cut-off. Same if you incorporate low voltage cut-off.
I've hit the low voltage protection feature with the junk batteries we first had in the ForkenSwift, and it was pretty violent: First gear, going slowly up a little hill, controller cuts current, car coasts to a stop. Foot still on throttle, pack voltage rebounds above the threshold, car jerks forward. Pack voltage falls, controller cuts current, car stops. Pack voltage rebounds, car lurches. Stops! Lurches! Stops!
Just a thought. Either that, or incorporate a high pedal safety feature that gets checked any time the controller goes from 0 current to some current request.
