Yes, that one’s fixed. Not the most elegant fix tho’... the controlling software will now shut down the car if the battery charge falls too low. So you have a useless brick until you can get it charged up. It does give a warning prior to shutdown to give you time to hopefully get to a place where you can charge it.

Thanks. That would seem prudent. :)

But, as you indicate, it doesn’t really fix the problem. It will make it less likely, but it still can happen.

thanks for the info.

Hmmm, isn’t that a known issue with lithium batteries, though? If they discharge all the way, they’re worthless. Cell phone chargers have circuitry to prevent this already, AFAIK.
