    Why would there be anything wrong with a forklift battery?

    A battery pack is a battery pack.

      Forklift batteries are also ballast. They’re lead-acid and weight 600lbs at the minimum. It’s a comically bad idea to use one for a personal vehicle.

        Thanks. I’ll go ahead and file that under “obvious common knowledge” going forward. /S

        I know how lithium packs work and how to program a VESC. That’s all.
