Additional Features	The 19 batteries feed both controllers, with the battery current going through one shunt for current and A-Hr measurement. The acceleration is terrific compare to the Force, but the watt-hrs per mile is more. I prefer driving the Force.
I have 2 more E-10's, which I intend to sell. Both need chargers and batteries. One has bad controllers. Need to send them to Andreus Kruspan (WebPage repair.
