Thanks.

a little close? Oh. The 65,500mah consumed? Here's something strange.

Since that's on the low voltage side of the setup, you can divide that by 2 to get the mah drained from the 6S pack.

Total pack mah came out to be a little over 72,000mah. I used some new 2600mah cells also.

She should be good for about 126,000mah+ on the low voltage side considering efficiency losses.

I want to add a true sine inverter to use this as a backup battery for power outages also.

The charger has added 27,000mah back to the pack so far and cell voltage is just now up to 4.0 volts per cell.

I'll get the total and figure up the eff. loss percentage. It should be 10% or less.
