Your longest ride ever......

[ShutterShock]

My record is 24.8, my battery ran out. 12s7p on 30q’s with pnummies

The last ride picture up there was taken on my range test of the board. A fateful test. A painful test. You don’t know how annoying pnummies can be until your battery runs out 1.5 miles from home on a hill. I just overestimated my range on the ride and ended up walking the end of it. Well, at least I know what my range is now. My range on the 12s7p of “salvage” Samsung 30Q cells is officially 23 miles before it becomes unusable. That was starting at a charge per cell of 4.15v and ending at 3.2v. Here’s the Metr and Strava rides for those curious. If you inspect the ride closely, you can see my ESC bouncing off of thermal limit pretty frequently. It really is annoying getting halfway up a hill and having to stop and wait for the ESC to cool down.

Board pretty much went into cutoff dead mode at 23 miles, or 3.2v.
