Have you asked them about this? Might be worth a phone call.

Shouldn't I be getting more miles out of a charge than that?

Not if the batteries are tired!
FYI, the most important instrument in the ForkenSwift is the LED battery gauge. Being able to monitor
each battery at a glance in real time (under varying load conditions) is invaluable for protecting the weakest ones from damage by drawing the voltage too low under load.
... And for learning what kind of range they'll deliver (before voltage sags too much to continue "normal" use).
You could do the same thing with a bunch of multimeters.
