I cut the charger off at 55.0V last night. No alarms went off. I will continue charging when I get home tonight. I wanted to see how much power a FULL charge takes so I am not using the kit again today. Its sucked down 3.2 kWh so far.

While not using the kit, I did get some no-kit mpg readings. My morning commute is pretty consistent due to the lack of traffic. This is what I have gotten according to my non-calibrated scangauge. Actual MPG is lower, but this gives me a baseline for comparison.

Wednesday - 20°F - 50.2 mpg
Thursday - 30°F - 52.7 mpg

I'll be using the pack again tomorrow, so hopefully the temps won't change too much.
