The newest version of Paktrakr has a two line display and one button for each line to control the display. Generally I leave the first line display as the fuel gage. The second line is usually either state of charge in % which is finer than the 6 level fuel gage or I might have it in the rotating display between the 6 batteries showing individual voltage. I like the ambient temperature reading however it seems to be reading that from the sensor device which hooks to the batteries and lives under the seat so the temp is higher than in free air, ooh-ooh! Maybe I can relocate the sensor device to the motor housing to read motor temp!! Right now I am using a hand-held laser temperature device, and temps inside the motor housing can easily go above 200 degrees with a few full throttle runs from dead start. Make sure you tell people you let use the bike to gradually increase throttle.
I have been measuring battery temps, the AGMs I have been using with the PWM chargers from Electricross have NOT been cooking which I was worried about, the Universal AGMs can take 14.5 to 14.9v max charge rate. I am very curious as to the life to be expected with the very shallow discharges my bike is experiencing before charge (4 miles to work, max speed generally 45mph). I am tending to charge after the lunch run of 2 miles, then riding home and starting charge as I go off to bed. Check it out... http://www.paktrakr.com/ Jeff
