Rewire some stuff, you will be fine...

Yes, polarity is key... Often times it is easy to wire a battery backwards, and not notice it because of the anderson connector...

Make sure that your battery is wired correctly...

ALSO

Your victor fan wires do not need to go to the same circuit...
I would recomend wiring the fans to the power terminals on each of the Victors. That way if a breaker to a victor is popping, or you have a short, or bad polarity, you can identify it with the fans (they do not spin in reverse...)

hope this helps... i know it is not fun to have electrical problems a week before ship date....
