I am thinking about converting a 74 Super Beetle, using a 144v system (AGM or Gel 12v SLAs), and i will be using a warp 9 motor. I can either get a 144v 400a Kelly controller with regen for about 1300, or pay 200 more for the same thing @ 500a...or even 200 more for 650a. Which should i get?

I assume these are peak amperage #s...anybody have any idea about the continuous numbers for these controllers? (Product #s KDH14401B, KDH14501B, and KDH14651B)

What would the performance be like with each?

Thank You Very Much!
