Thanks for answering my questions. On the regen question: I meant to say that you cannot capture any of the regenerative braking with the Enginer battery (because the DC to DC converter only works in one direction). So without the stock battery, all the braking energy ends up as heat only; whether it is regenerative or friction.

I will take a look at the other companies you've mentioned.
