Patrick...I dont think it is fair for you to replace controller after controller if this really is the problem... Brian did a good "no load regen brake test" somewhere recently and made some pretty interesting observations wrt tvs, current voltage... Would like to know what the situation looks like under load :-) .. What numbers are we talking about in worst case?

I think it is a good idea to keeps in the safe zone with the ripple and batt checking....I personally run zippies and dont mind a little less power and more reliability...-> I can also however imagine there are some who want to squeeze every last drop of power out of it and run everything at the limits, hot & cold and exploding if needs be(though I imagine they will have better batts :-) )

Maybe those riskers can maybe disable this function (with the effect of guarantee loss).

Help..I'm gonna get flamed...
