OK. Nevermind. I am not as bad off as I thought I was. I thought I was wrong. That was a mistake. I am not wrong. This time. Wait, that means I might be wrong......

Hey BJ, er I mean Big Joey, just curious, how do you think 36v got in a 48v system?

It's easy to do if you don't know much about batteries. Most people assume they are right since they fit. If they fit they must be right...

i had an elderly guy want me to change his 8v batteries out
i gave him a price , he said he could get them cheaper in Tampa
i took photo of wiring and loaded them in his truck
next day i went to install them and he had 6v batteries
i informed him he had gotten wrong batteries that he needed 8v batteries
he went back to Tampa and returned that afternoon .. with the same batteries !
he said that the guy said they were the same as he had brought in for trade
we went down the next day and i explained he had 8v batteries ,
guy said nope they are right over here , in the 6v battery pile were his 6 8v batteries
we left with the correct batteries after he paid the difference in price
soo 3 trips to Tampa (60miles each ) he saved nothing !!!
