I don't, but the parasitics I saw in Rev H we're from three sources
1) BMS, including cell balancing costs
2) lots of relays, why so many KS2!
3) battery heaters (only when it's cold!)

Chris made an excellent point here about C-rate: http://www.classbforum.com/forums/f2...html#post90874

It would apply to both the charge and discharge. If you had a 150A load for example and split it between two modules it would be easier on the batteries and also the module related parts of the system.

My only 150amp load is the AC. I rarely use the AC on battery but it's the one time to turn on two batteries
