Converting an ATV

How would I go about making this run on batteries?

Mount some batteries on it
...& hook 'em up

* May be a good idea to try-n-figure out what voltage components (motor & controller) that it has first

785,431 AA size wired in series. A common light dimmer makes an excellent throttle control!

Hey T,

FWIU Most common light dimmers are designed for/used with AC (Alternating Current) electricity
...& don't work too well with DC (Direct Current) electricity

Most DC speed controllers require a (1V-4V) Hall Effect type throttle (& some require a potentiometer)

Really? I have no idea wacha talking about. Just use the dimmer, its mo simpler! AC/DC, whatever! they be the worst band ever!
