Very nice truck, I'll have to watch the vid when I get home.

The spec sheet for the A123 cells show they put out ~2.7V at a 40A discharge (~17.4C.) Obviously for a 4600 pack this would equate to 80A, which should be around where you are. Hopefully your testing will prove this.

I'd really to like to run a 5s2p (3s2p & 2s2p) set of these, but a 3s2p batt isn't available from them, and I've heard they are not tolerant of soldering (must be spot welded.) Otherwise you could build this from a single dewalt pack ad it would only be ~$100. Sounds like other retail chargers are coming out for them now. I would be awesome to be able to charge a 2p pack at 20A. :)

Cart: did you have a chance to ask them if more batt configs will become available?
