Yes.
You can pretty much set the braking as high as you want from a riding perspective. As long as you weigh around what a normal human weighs, carry around what a normal backpack weighs, and travel at normal electric longboard speeds, you shouldn’t really be damaging the cells. If any of those assumptions is wrong then maybe look into this aspect a tad more. If a car is towing you, and you’re trying to slow it down with your esk8 brakes, then you might damage the cells…
