Default Re: 36 Volts upgrade to 48 Volt

I'm no Yammi expert, but ya can't send 2 batteries through a microswitch. The current will cause a meltdown.

8-6v will give longer runtimes, weigh more, and preserve your 12v hookups. Your 36v charger could stay in the loop and you could add a 12v smart charger for 2 of the batteries. 2 chargers is a hassle, but it keeps the costs down until a nice used 48v unit comes your way.
