Keep an eye on balance. May have to turn it on and set lcd to stay on longer. Only balances when set to “on” and display is on. I don’t balance during charge and discharge. Seems a waste. Default balance is 10mv which is too tight for me. 20mv is plenty. Set your fuel gauge in menu. I set from 3.5v to 4.1v. If you plug in alarms, set levels where you want. I don’t bother. Thought about sensing motor and controller temperature, but never got “a round tuit”. ---

This Spark Kit is amazing. Up the steepest hill I still have room onnthe gas pedal to “power up” example my normal speed up the hill is around 20 MPH at best. I have lots of room onnthe gas pedal. Smash down and another 5mph it’s amazing super happy thank you David’ this thing rocks ---

Thank you, Another hardware hack, if I can find it, is padding the throttle pot. Changes to a non linear pedal response. First 1/4 has reduced affect. Watching for data. This is 1/2 pack. 19/2=9.5kwh=40 Spark miles🤓 My test of 150w/mile give \>50 miles in theory. For longest life limit high and low volts. I only charge to 4 volts unless more range is needed. A button press on bms raises charge hvc. ---

My throttle feels fine not jerky or touchy feels normal to me no need to change anything. It zips up to 40mph in no time. ---

And now for the bad part. Runs too fast. Need to slow it down. Seems to be a problem with battery monitor or cable to the display. T1 and T2 don’t like high voltage. ---

Bumping this for Ryan. The Spark only needs 3 modules, but you get the idea. [Previous page](https://community.electricforum.com/t/spark-lithium-conversion/12638.md?page=2)
