So I built my first 10s6p build using a vruzend kit and had a thread about that here about a month ago.
At any rate the actual range I get out of the pack is way less than what I was expecting... out of 3 batteries I use on my ebike, which is also a delivery bike in NYC, my 30Q has the worst range for Ah.
So heres some specs for reference... im running a 500w front hub and Im about 135lbs... Beside variables I think what is most important from it all is that my driving/riding habits are pretty consistent regardless of which battery is plugged in and NYC is pretty flat for the most part with minimal hills and climbing needs.
Since my bike is a work bike I usually swap the battery before its dead...more like when the juice is low and i need to start pedaling a bit more than normal, or the battery is starting to slow me down then its time for a swap... probably around 20% at rest.
Battery 1 - is a 10s5p 10Ah from diyeboard.com about 16mi before the bike starts getting slow
Battery 2 - is a 10s8p comprised of 4 - 10s2p packs all connected in paralell. These are the ebay packs from alarmhookup if youre familiar and although advertised as 4.4Ah per pack, online tests show closer to 4Ah... so 16Ah and this will yield me 25mi about before its slow
Battery 3 - DIY 10s6p 30Qs (from NKON) and supposed to be my highest capacity pack at 18Ah.... sadly i get about 16mi from this pack and not sure why.
If you have any ideas...thoughts...trouble shooting.. im all ears.
