Hi Ben, Some very astute observations as per usual :) Clearly they topped the battery pack up to above normal before starting to get a bit further. Clearly there was drain during the test and isn't it amazing that it failed just at the point where the batteries should have been reading about full with no recharge going into them :) A couple of other things I noticed ..the standard off the shelf batteries in the pictures on the web site have been replaced with the best heavy duty ones they could get their hands on and their numbers don't add up. 130 horse power is just under 100k so 10k will never keep them charged. That's also a good insight with splitting the battery so that you can get a recharge pulse back into it and still drive off it by means of pulse switching. Now that I know how it works I might just be able to rig up something to test the theory in the next couple of days, im just waiting to hear from Todd about if there was a gear ratio driving it or just 1 to 1 for the generator.
