Yeah, I am guessing that with the 48V system, I should be able to do 45.

Also, my DC/DC converter cuts out below 32 or 33 volts, which is easy to do under load when the batteries are run down a little on the 36V system.

48V should keep my converter from cutting out and killing my lights at night. Not that I do much night riding, I would still rather not have that happen!!!!
