interesting. any clue what the LED light kit draws? that's the only thing i have on the 12v side of the battery is the positive from the lights. also, you're talking about the 48v-12v converter?

I would guess no more than 5 amps on regular headlight/taillights. I was wrong about the amps limit on the converter, it’s only 8 amps.

Yes, it’s the 48-12V converter that went bad.

8 amp converter is pretty lame. You might want to upgrade it to 20 amp or so.
