Electric brakes
A vandal took my brake-away lanyard that energized my brakes to where the batteries ran down completely. Does anyone know if the brake magnets could be damaged for being energized until two batteries ...

Thanks for the input and advice. I did connect a spare magnet in free air to a battery and it got rally hot in ten minutes to where it could get damaged. If it was mounted in the drum I dson't know if it would get that hot. I did call Dexter and they could not guarantee it would survive and suggested that I have a reputable service check all the magnets out because partial melt down of the winding insulation would decrease breaking ability.
