Hi Paul

I've had a fun time, did an autokana - great fun
Then I blew some cells
Rebuilt with 40S x 3P (16Ah Headways)
(was 44S)

With the lower voltage my current has gone up and I think I have hit the controller over-temperature

does it just de-rate or does the frequency change?
I could hear a funny "rubbing noise" - I didn't think of temperature at the time
by the time I got back to the car it was all working fine - also no noise

Seems to be OK now
