I am having to adjust the sizing as I am going along. Its a bit of a test bed/BOX to get my sizing figured out. Not exactly the most smart way of building it, but I will unscrew and trim down the box to closer to the plans dimensions as I go along. One thing I did change was to put in 3/4" plywood on the floor because I didnt believe that 1/2" birch was strong enough for the batteries. Now I need to decide what size batteries to use. I was going to use 35ah batteries but am now wondering if 25ah batteries would be better. I am worried that my motors draw too much current because the original batteries are 55AH batteries. I realize that that is so that a 300-400lb human can be driven all day long in a wheelchair, so I am wondering if its overkill for my tank. What you think?
