One other thing I was thinking of is the sag with the 144vdc gel pack even when freshly charged is down to 120vdc. That's like having a 108vdc pack by the meters. Might one with the stiff lithium go lower voltage and still get performance? My car with a 300 pound lithium pack might be 2200 or less pounds. Also It might save the modified Curtis controller. It really never sees high voltage except when I'm just putting around at under 25 amps draw. Lawrence Rhodes...
