I tested the range of my S-10 conversion with a Nissan Leaf battery pack
yesterday (not quite all the way to 80% discharged, but got some good
numbers).
Summary: 326 watt/hours per mile driving at 30-40 mph with minimal stops
in 75 degree weather. Using headlights but no other electrical draws to
speak of.
I drove 46 miles before I got tired of driving and estimate my range to
80% discharged would be 55 miles.
I quit before reaching my 120 volt (3.75 volts per cell) cutoff point.
When I finished the drive, my resting pack voltage was 122.8 volts (3.82
volts per cell average). I measured all the cells with a voltmeter to
check and see how well balanced the pack was, and the lowest cell was
3.814 volts, while the highest was 3.85 volts. [So they are relatively
well balanced, but could be better.]
