With that said, it seems we could go about 35 to 40 miles before hitting 50% discharge, right? or does the voltage drop exponentially after a point?? I thinks that pretty good considering the very in-efficient type resistor coil setup. I would say that these Walmart batteries are doing pretty good for now, but I DO UNDERSTAND the longevity issue of these batteries....I will post back in three years on that issue

I don't believe I could get anymore then the low 30's on a charge and that’s mostly full out. Driving around Ft Wilderness with some slight hilly roads and lots of stops for traffic and folks that 32 mark is about right. Today I went 25 miles and ended with a pack voltage of 49 or around 60% after 2 hours.
