Best? Some of us have no interest in 72V batteries. Actually I’ve dialed back to 36V. 72V is a whole different ball game. Not a criticism, just a personal choice.

Yes that is correct. You can also input custom programs say it you want to charge to 85% @ 8 amps.
The 72v Satiator is future proof. Maybe you want to charge your electric car 5+ years down the road? The 48 volt Satiator is limited to 63 volts tops. For the extra $5 dollars or so you could have bought the 72 volt Satiator. It will be hooked up to charge any batteries 36 volts and up to 103 volts. It can be updated years down the road by Grin to accommodate battery chemical formulas that are not yet available. I am looking outside of ebikes toward the future.

Your future. At my age 25MPH can be hazardous. I’m firmly in the pike path crowd with zero interest in anything more than a 36V 20A sweet spot for my riding. 3 new 36V tracking with UPS. I bought a second after 5 years of consistent service from day one. The batteries I managed properly with my first satiator are still decent performers in warm weather and at 15A max. both from EM3ev in 2014.
The newer format will be bike mounted. The old shop setup.I have Grin controllers as well as infineon 12fet that are, as you know have programable voltages. My 48V and 52V packs have aged out. Low miles but incredibly saggy running 1000W, and speed is just not what I need or want. 20AH 36V 35E cells are super packs for me.
I’m not criticising 72V, I’d still be driving aircooled Bugs if I could.
Cheap 72V packs scare me... exactly as played out on a ludicrous BBSHD and 72V China special on a NY stoop.
I will be 63 in a couple of months. I run 52 volt Luna batteries with a 1,000 watt DD motors. I won't use any controller other then Nucular Electronics from Russia. The Firmware is updated by the owner of the company for free and well supported by him. I have been waiting for a 12F programmable controller from them for 13 months now and already own their 6F Controller on another Ebike. I enjoy going up to 35 mph on Ebikes but no faster. 72 volts is way too much for me also. China is very scary to buy batteries from as there is so much counterfeiting going on, you have to worry about burning down your house or garage 
Enjoy what you have, and keep the rubber on the pavement

Yup. Been their done that. All three BBSHD came from Luna as well as my 52 and 48v triangles. All were first versions with, unknown at the time, weak rotor shafts. Destined to fail under heavy use. 2014 BBS01A motors are still running one now relegated to spares and one on 120lb wife’s flat foot. 2 10T MAC and new 36v 500w B version for backup bike. My name is Tom, I’m an addict. A couple more motors gathering dust.

Hi Tom, it works if you work it so work it you're worth it!
