Someone had mentioned moving the lift motor wire from an 18V position to
a 12V position so it drains only 2 batteries not 3, because I'm
recharging every 2 batteries. Which wire supplies the lift motor. I
have a thin wire labelled "12 12" going to a battery under the seat.
Is that it?

Ah, now that makes a lot of sense. The hand throttle doesn't behave
like a foot pedal. It has the ability to "stick" in whatever position
you like it, so it does have built-in cruise. I wonder why they left
the "Cruise Control" button on the panel, then.
