Building that ghetto pack was a learning curve. Seeing what the little batteries can do under max load for 20 minutes. I know what they can do in tools, flashlights, laptops and RC. But I never knew what the capability would be in a bike for example. I can always use those packs in my kids power wheels or stick them in my souped up flashlight. I made my home-work-home commute without needing to recharge. I used up 6000mah and voltage dropped enough to trip the low voltage cutoff intermittenly. So now I know the cheapo ebay setup does have a low voltage cutoff and a over voltage protection. So the Ebay setup is not so bad afterall.

Have no fear, because my new controller is being shipped to me. Bad boy is suppose to run sensorless and support high rpm's. Also capable of running 100V and currently set at 45A max. Controller is set to run on 12s and 16s for now. But I have enough to run 22S 5000mah. But 85V will require some plugs and wire upgrades. Not something I would want to mess with right now.
