The REGEN is working and it's really decent in my hilly area. I actually think the high current of the REGEN is helping rejuvenate the NiMH cells I'm using. The cells should have at least 40 AH of capacity, and with time will probably eek out more. Most modules had 57+ AH when I cycle tested them, and they got stronger with each charge cycle. These batteries were never over worked, just sat for years.
With practice, I can nearly use REGEN braking for entire drives. It's quite powerful, and it's really easy to vary the levels of it.
My total cost for this entire project : $2,000 USD!
