And, I agree that this looks far superior to a factory built anything. I am also jealous that I don't have similar ability to do such an outstanding conversion.
Thanks. The controller has a brake light circuit in it that allows me to activate a relay for the brake light. In the controller settings, one can adjust how many amps of regen it takes to activate the relay. I think I set mine for 50 amps of regen before the controller sends a brake light signal to my brake light relay. So, there is no signal coming directly from the regen button, only from the controller after it senses a specified amount of regen current.
