The issues with the batteries has not been running out of charge but rather the controller hitting thermal safeties. We have been testing an air duct to push cooler air across the controller and have had great success. @nlowell did multiple 20 minutes sessions yesterday and the the controller only hit the fail safe once during the last session of the day when the ambient temperature hit 105 degrees Fahrenheit.
