What can I do now

You MIGHT get by with the original solenoid. Some hold up, some give up the ghost right away. Just the luck of the draw. If you leave the coil voltage @36 volts it may work just fine. You can do Gornos charging method: using a 12 volt charger plus the 36 volt to get by till you can get a 48 volt.

yep, that works. used an extra 12v charger for long time. i still use a hd 36v solenoid. i figure the internal large contacts are the same for both. hasn't failed yet.

Libertybellcdr,
Did you go with 6 eight volt or 8 six volt batteries?
