Hey Danny- I just got my pack, and the numbers are flat out rediculous! And ray, 1.185's seem outdated now... I've got 1.196's sitting in my car with 420 seconds of runtime at 35 amps. 2.0 IR. One question though. How important is peak voltage? The numbers seem relatively scattered compared to the AV, which is all 1.196. I've got a 1.507, 1.492, 1.506, 1.493, 1.500, and 1.495. My logic is telling me since the charger charges each cell at the same rate, it would be more important for runtime and peak voltage to be the same, so the cells all peak at the same time. Wouldn't such scattered numbers overcharge certain cells? Obviously my logic is wrong, because it isn't done that way, so any insight would be good. And another question... I know you (Danny) said that higher IR at the same average voltage will have a higher voltage towards the end of the discharge. So on a larger scale, would a slightly higher IR be more beneficial in modified, since it can regulate the voltage better, giving more punch towards the end, when most batteries start to get flat?
