It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

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.

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