Here is some preview update.
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

The only comment is I charged to 4.15V and end voltage it was around 3.61V to 3.68V.
Overall I am satisfied. The configuration is 24s1p and I charge as 12s2p.
What I don't have in pictures is the starting voltage. It was 99.4V when I left for my long trip.
Weight of batteries was around 45lbs. So it is crazy heavy. I think these batteries would be perfect for trikes or placed on a trailer. It was crazy heavy in the center of my bike frame and it does affect handling a bit. However if I am drag racing in a straight line, it holds up find... Assuming the motor can hold up to the task without burning out.
Voltage sag is non-existent. I was using between 1500W and 2000W for most of my trip. With burst up to 3400W. Even with the 3400W, the voltage dropped around 1.5-2V during middle of the ride. i.e. this is not surface charge. If I maxed at 3400W early on, it would sag more. So Voltage sag is definitly in check for my purpose.

Keep in mind this is for 60Ah because I charge as 12s2p using my Hyperion 1420i. So IR should theoretically be 14 mOhms.
I didn't go too fast because I was not sure if my bike frame can handle the new weight. However, given more and more of riding, I think I will get more comfortable with the ride.
For all intensive purposes, this battery preformed up to specs. It is not the best... not by a long shot, but it does it nicely, conservatively, and with safety in mind. I guess you can expect a realistic 28Ah if I use the full voltage range from 2.8V to 4.2V. The reason why I restrict my voltage range is because this will be the voltage range I will be using it at.
Keep in mind I have not applied any pressure to the cells. From IceCube's test, I can probably get more out of it if I compress it.
I will have to make some more mods, but overall it will be what it is for the for seeable future for now. I just don't have time to mess with it further.
In the next few post I will show you how I mount it and if I have time, show you how I built it and charge/discharge it.
