    Charging pack to 41V experiment

    That graph gives you the capacity loss when drained from 4.2V to 4.1V per cell. Which does not tell you what the capacity would be when charged to 4.1V and drained from there. I used a practical drain load of 2A on my 42V 5Ahr battery as that was the current used when on a typical ride, assist...

    Batteries Charging Routine

    The batteries in the 6Ahr pack do have a 10A rated charge I beleive, so should be OK for 15A. As for routinely doing a 1hr charge, you would think that is going to 'quickly' reduce battery life, but then if you have a holder, easy enough to use your own charger.
