Hi John,

Congratulations!  I hope to be in a similar situation soon if I can find
a large-frame ET.

>From reading the EV Discussion List, I've learned that clamp-on battery
lugs are a bad idea.  Road-going EVs draw enough amps for long enough
periods that you stand a very good chance of over-heating or even
melting a connection.  Is this not as big a concern with ETs?  What are
typical current draws for an ET under various conditions?
