I don’t see a downside to using 18S, keeping the pack in the knee will dramatically extend their life, as long as you do not discharge below 2.5V per cell… maybe someone can do the math and see what the best lifespan and energy density would be… 3.0 to 3.5 power range… heck, 2.8 to 3.4 would be nearly a full cycle, and a lot of Wh’s….
