Installing the PakTrakr

I took some time to install the PakTrakr modules today. I was a bit disappointed in the voltage measurements from the PakTrakr remotes, so I'll probably send them back for recalibration. Here are the voltages I measured:

Unit #1
Battery #	Battery(V)	PakTrakr(V)	Difference(mV)
1	13.43	13.5	70
2	13.49	13.7	210
3	13.48	13.4	-80
4	13.49	13.9	410
5	13.52	13.9	380
6	13.28	12.9	-380
Unit #2
Battery #	Battery(V)	PakTrakr(V)	Difference(mV)
1	13.41	13.5	90
2	13.46	13.7	240
3	13.47	13.4	-70
4	13.46	13.7	240
5	13.5	13.7	200
6	13.29	13.5	210

Unit #2 isn't too far off, but batteries 4, 5 and 6 on unit #1 have too much error to accurately determine the state of the pack. I contacted Ken Hall at PakTrakr today for advice before I send the units back.

To help with air resistance, I might run to the plastics store and cover the entire front grille with a sheet of ABS plastic to see if that cuts down on the drag as well as the cooling effect on the front batteries...
