Re: Powering the speed controller outputs

Here is a radical idea for you. Use some Power Lock connectors between the controller and the motor. Then simply disconnect the motor connector and insert a power device of your choosing to rewind the motor. We have taken a 12 volt battery operated drill and added external wires with Power Locks on them to test motors and reset motor operated devices in the past.
