Ben, what was your range before the cold?

I am now doing range tests using my PakTrakr and found that a cold pack gives me 11 miles range according to the PakTrakr. It was 25F out and I only drove 4.9 miles and the PakTrakr read 56% left. 25-45 MPH, hills and stop and go. Now two weeks ago it was 60F, with a fresh charge and I did a 1 mile drive and the voltages indicated a 33 mile range. I didn't have the PakTrakr at the time so I don't know how accurate the estimations are.

Just for comparison, I have a 96 volts system using 12v 125Ah batteries.
