RE: (ET) charger -- resend from delay

["Elie, Larry (L.D.)" <lelie ford com>]

Cruise is Power-Pulse.  It isn't like a car cruise control, but perhaps 
more like a heavy truck throttle lock.  It has little to do with motor 
speed, but with current.

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.
