that certainly was interesting.  thank you, doc.

i couldn't quite tell from the video, but i assume the dc-dc transformer to bring out 12v from the battery pack must be already part of the bike.  you added the fuse block yourself, i again assume.  i was hoping to wire up some heated grips myself without having to overpay so much for the zero accessories to accomplish it.  i also have a strip of LED's i'd like to wire up (12v) for visibility/bling...  ;)

looks like the '12 ds is going to be delivered on sunday.  i'm excited.

Awesome test Doc! I think i need to do the same.  I'd love to test each of the 108 cells in my ZF9 pack, I'm thinking a couple are close to toast.  i'll post a new thread with why I'm thinking this.
