Sorry if this has been covered, I'm still trying to catch up with this topic.Not speculation: The 60's cell count can't be calculated based on 85 specifications. The 60's have a different battery chemistry for a variety of reasons. Regardign P85 vs. 85 cells, they're the same. However, among other things, the P85's have a more robust ac/dc inverter/converter that provides more current to the motor. Greater current and capacity provide the better performance.I don't know that was ever confirmed. At any rate, my question was answered (i.e., we don't know) and is a discussion for another thread.
