Seriously: my eyes glazed over after reading that, and I found myself daydreaming about what vehicle I'd convert if I wanted to go with 72 volts had another controller... then I snapped back to reality.
I need another conversion like a what? That's right! Like a hole in my head.
(But I think it'd either be something like a VW van or a Miata.)

Well, it got me to work today; however, my batteries are really scaring me. Voltage drop gets so low, I'm afraid to even use the car anymore. But then, I remember how much I paid for the batteries and.....well, I pretty much drive at 5-10 mph now just to make sure I don't pop one. I try to keep voltage above 50v. When I got back yesterday though, I had a battery at 11.6v
To be fair though, it was between 19-30 degrees the last couple days, which is pretty exceptionally cold for around here. It will be back up to a more normal 40 tomorrow.....
PS: Build a 72v car already, you know you want to!!!
