I'm up in the air about this. I have a bunch of small 12v lead acid batteries (nice small ones). So I was contemplating using the larger batteries just for the drive system and have everything else run on a separate 12v battery.

$0 for batteries I already have, or $80+ for a 72v to 12v DC converter? Hmm....


So what I'm gathering is the contactor is the same function as the key switch except it's built for more volts and more amps.
