Hopefully, I can get it installed and figure out how to use it and give the bike a range test. How bad is it if I depleted the batteries down to zero?
Keep in mind the faster you discharge a pack (any pack) the shorter it's life span. This I can guarantee. So riding full speed maybe OK with your combo of pack controller and motor but more often then not riding full throttle for a long period is bad for the pack.
