Went to my part-time job today, ten miles away.
Starting voltage was 13.1 (per 12 volt battery)
I rode 10 miles out, and plugged the cycle's on-board charger into the outside of the hairstylist's building next-door to where I work. (It's ok, the place was closed and I get my hair cut there sometimes.) Voltage when I arrived was 12.6
I put .5 KWh (about 100 watts, for about 5 hours) into the battery pack.
Voltage when I left was 13.
Drove home and ran errands. Smoked my rear brake cable, but that's another thread (Check out "I am good at destroying electric motorcycles").
Voltage when I got home was only 12.1, not sure how much of that was used in resistance heating......
Total trip for the day was 25.2 miles.
About 1 gallon of gas in a car.
