I’m building an e-Honda 90, I am adding a headlight but not sure how to wire it to the battery. I have a 48v 40 aH lithium sulphate battery.

Use a discrete 12v battery or a 48v to 12v converter. Tapping the battery at 12v is a bad idea.

Yes I was thinking the same thing. A simple 12v set up. Thanks!
