I'm really liking the Metro at 108V!

The "sweet-spot" of acceleration is very ooofy.

There were a couple of documentary film-makers out at my place today. I wore my Open ReVolt t-shirt and took them out for a ride in the car.

They all really liked the ride. I also showed off my Elec-Trak, electric motorcycle, and a couple other projects.

The newish Die Hard Platinums handle high amps WAY better than my used AGMs. The extra juice they provide really helps. I may have to consider using my Craftsman/Instructables prize to buy some batteries.
