Frankly, I have little hope of speedy upgrade for the regen controller. My solution now is to take two controllers with me.

Dumb question, if you have both controllers and you are carrying them with you anyways, why haven't you built yourself a switch to toggle between the two.  It would seem to be an easy circuit to construct that would allow you to switch between using one or the other.

The number of conductors that have to be switched and/or connected. The idea of taking two controllers originated not with regen versus standard but 36 volt versus 48 volt. However, this was before realizing that even though the 42 volt cutout of a 48 volt controller is an acceptable voltage for the 36 volt controller to start the issue is not with the controller but with deep discharge of the battery pack.
