Walt thank you for the reply and in fo I am starting to understsnd the system better. Have been reading other threads and they talk about hooking the batteries pararell does that mean each battery to each motor or wire the batteries together than hook them to the motors. thanks again. DEM

You can wire motors and batteries in parallel forming one pool.

Benefit is both motors get exactly the same voltage so it is easier to keep them in synch.

Bad part is if that battery system fails you lose everything. But this doesn't happen often. I would lean toward parallel packs to feed both motors so voltage is uniform.
