Upgrading to 72 volts will involve replacing $40 worth of components in the controller, and buying another battery ($40).
I'll get around to it eventually. It may take me a while to convince myself to desolder and resolder than many connections. (15 x 3 + 8 = 53 pins )

Then I'll have to mount and wire in the 60V charger for the 5-pack and a 12V charger for the 6th battery. 72V chargers are just too expensive, especially considering the small size of these 20ah batteries.
