Drove my Bradley to work yesterday morning. Since my primary route is closed for construction - they are building a bridge, and the detour route has some very long gradual climbs, I'm left with plan C - the roads on the side of the freeway. Why not take the freeway? At 70 mph and several 6% hill grades I'd be crushed!! (Remember, I can only pull 178 AH constant with this controller) This plan C is only a few miles longer and has speeds from 35 - 50 mph. The hills are steep but not very long.
This takes about an hour driving time but I figure, hey I can drive my Bradley ....that makes for a good day! : )
The drive to work was scenic and the controller performed very well. FYI - 45 degrees outside. No incidents what so ever with the controller.
Coming home was a different story though. FYI - 75 degrees. The controller continues to cut my amp draw, at random, to a max of 60. When I say at random, I mean on a hill, on a flat road, at high speed or low speed. And I don't mean all the time - this only occurred during the first 17 miles of my commute home, the remaining 14 were trouble free. Sometimes I lift my foot off the pedal for a few moments and everything works again. Other times I have to pull off the road and wait a few seconds then start to drive again. All of my settings were changed back to the default settings, so I'm not sure what's going on. I've sent a couple emails so hopefully I can get some assistance on this.
