She is still pretty

I'm back on the bike Oh glory its good to be riding again. The Lipo boost pack is proving out well, I'll have more data shortly. What has been speculation as to road performance and only measured on the Dyno is now fact. The Lipo pack starts sharing current at 60 amps at 100 amps the balance is about 60/40 and I've seen peaks as high as 80 amps from the Lipo booster. On the highway at 60 MPH and 80 amps the Lipo pack will contribute 20 amps. Temperture just isn't a big factor in how the LIFEPO4 and Lipo packs share current.
Just to Review
