Good catch Dave! He was pretty clear on saying motor.. never occurred to me because I've only ever seen twin motors wired together then to the power in series..
Hmm.. need to think on that one for awhile.. i still think you need your batteries setup in series for higher voltage. Given that they are, 2 motors in series would draw twice the amps through the circuit.. but why would they draw any less amps or pull more power if they are taxing the same power source from 2 separate curcuits?
I need to talk that over with my electrician buddy.
Very interesting none-the-less!
