You don't have the shifter hooked up yet?
If you do, I'd say start in 2nd, and upshift each time the amps start to fall off the controller limit. If you don't, then just try 3rd. That should give you the most amps for the longest, without overdoing things.
You mean 20 miles until the voltage plummeted? Or 20 until you limped home after?
Still beats the ForkenSwift: 20
km (12 mi) is as far as I can go before the pack is so pooped that I have to choose routes where I won't piss off following drivers because I'm accelerating so slowly.

I think one of the radiator position batteries is bad, I will try replacing it this weekend, see if that helps.

Man, you need a pack monitor! Like our DIY LED battery gauge. Even if you just get a bunch of cheap digital multimeters, that would be good too. Not knowing what your batt voltages are doing is playing Russian Roulette! I'd say it's more important than an ammeter, esp. with old/used batts.
