One more question for you guys. How much heat does the controller put out?

I can mount it behind the seat in a nice spot but it won't get a lot of airflow. Nothing would be against it but I am thinking if it generates a lot of heat then it would probably overheat without a fan if I mount it there. I don't want to put it under the hood since it will get wet. I can put it in the trunk but then it will be in an enclosed space and might not get much airflow there either. I don't know how much power it actually dissipates so I am not sure what to do with it.

The battery charger has a pair of fans so I figure mount it under the passenger side battery holder and run the power wire over to the drivers side fender right behind the door. I can mount a port in the body there so I won't forget and drive off with it still plugged in.
