I apologize for my ignorance in the EV world. I worked on ICE vehicles my whole life and now being cast into batteries. The solenoids are fine. The original 36v solenoid made me suspect it blew under the load of the new super powered Lipos, lol.

I do have the LiFePo charger for them, but was wanting to test on the storage charge before I topped them off. The batteries are sitting at 13.11-13.17 currently.

What should I look for in a discharge rate for these batteries? The 4x 12v's I talked myself into have a continuous discharge rate of 100amps. Some of the single 48v packs spec 120amps continuous so I figure that was close enough.

Discussion for another thread, but I'm think the RXV brake is coming off soon. Looking at hydraulic disks for the front, but wondering what to do about a parking brake.

Thanks,
Don
