Test recap:
The 16S 60V 15AH battery pack seems to be holding up pretty well, since the last test.
No noticeable raising or swelling
During this test, I ran the pack down to ~51.5V
An hour after the test, the pack had recovered to ~53.5V
The next morning recovered to ~54.5V
...& it has been sitting nice-n-steady ~54.5V (since)
According to the meter I used ~664Wh
...so, doing the math:
The 36 cell module, that these cells came from, was listed as 2,000Wh
...& 2,000Wh/36 cells = 55.56 Wh per cell
...& 55.56Wh x 16 cells = 888.96 Wh pack
This 16S 60V pack could have been "safely" drained down to ~48V (or ~3V per cell)
...& we only drained it down to ~51V
...so, (it looks like) we still had a couple of hundred Wh left in the pack (quite a sizable Extra Safety Margin)
Next, thing I noticed is that it seems like most of the "energy" is available
...&/or was released "in" the "top" or upper voltage range.
Because (I noticed) going from 0Wh -~400Wh, went from (fully charged) ~65V down to ~60V
...but, then, going from 59V down to 51V was only ~264WH
...& the "energy" seemed to "go" or "drain" much quicker (in the lower voltage range) too
The voltage drop seemed to be in the ~2V - 3V range
(which seems like a lot, for lithium cells, only under a moderate load)
The Amp draw averaged ~18A
...& the peak, I saw was ~35A
So, on this 15AH pack the ~18A const draw would be considered ~1C
...& the ~35A peak would be considered ~2C
Top speed seemed to be pretty consistently ~26MPH while in the 65V down to ~60V range (remember, this was an in 2nd gear test)
...then, it seemed to steadily reduce, as the voltage level went down
The Low Voltage Cut-Off "kicked in"
...& started reducing the power output at ~52V
...& then, pretty much shut the system down at ~51V
* Also, notice how the voltage meter "can" be used as a "fuel gauge"
...to let the driver know, how much is left "in the tank"
...at any "given time"
...with these type of Lithium cells (anyways)
So, that's what I got out of, watching the video, of this last test (a few times)
...let me know if you'all noticed anything, that I didn't
