I am in serious leaf mode. Oddly enough the E20's deck running in full 
"mulch" mode plus the additional motor on the sweeper does pull a lot of 
current from the batteries. Still, I am averaging 26ah per string of 
BB600 NiCDs before the tractor slows down. Right now I have two strings 
in the rear and the old T105's up front as ballast.
I really should replace that front pack. It's going to freeze this 
winter if I don't charge up the batteries.
In other news, I now run my Link-20 meter on a DC-DC converter. Found a 
Vicor one that allows up to 50 volts in, 12 volts out. Which works fine 
for charging and the like. I'm thinking of using it to power the +12 
volt circuits as well so that the lights no longer tap the pack. Might 
as well since it's always on.
