(ET) Motor control for lift




If you are using a PWM motor control for the lift, how do you reverse?
I was looking at the controls at electricscooterparts and I don't see reverse mentioned.

I have a winch I will be replacing my lift motor with and currently I am planning on adding a 12V 17ah SLA fed by a 3A DC-DC converter. The winch will be mounted on a steel plate over the charger and feed through a hole in the grill with a fairlead mounted on it  I'm converting to Alltrax and based on install pictures I've seen I won't have any spare room in the console so I was going to mount the DC-DC converter and SLA to a panel on top of the front batteries.
This would give me a 12V source with no tap for other things as well but I'm thinking I'm going to beat the crap out of the battery and it would be better to save it for my lights and controls.

Maybe I would be better off with a motor controller for the lift since I could control speed as well. At the rate my project is proceeding I'm open to ideas.

Opinions?
