I was told that not only would they extend the number of cycles you could cycle the batteries but that it should extend your range because it's going to be gentler on the whole pack.

I tend to see my resting voltage bounce back up to 50v higher depending on the state of charge, 52.6v is "fully charged at rest" if I remember correctly and I can drive 4 miles to work over some hills and still read around 52v after I turn the key off, but my voltage under load drops to 44v or even 42v sometimes and as the batteries discharge I see it get down close to 40v if I've driven a lot that day and am climbing a steep hill.
