Re: 42 volts 7 batteries
Only thing it might hurt is the solenoid which is probably for 36v. Do you have a 42v charger?

Re: 42 volts 7 batteries
Can very possibly hurt the controller. Your 36 volt charger wont charge it either. It wont hurt the motor at all. That being said...I've done the 42 volt thing but there is always a chance it will burn it up. Some will work, others fry. If your lucky it will go into overvoltage shutdown or it will work....some will, some wont. Worst case it'll smoke. If its not the stock controller and will handle 48 volts then no problem.

Your 36v charger will never fully charge a 42v pack.

Re: 42 volts 7 batteries
Keep your charger connected to the original 6 and use a seperate 6v charger on the odd one ....
