I’m pretty sure that is not enough current to work, but I’ll figure id ask anyway. I’m working on converting a midsize car(2500 lb stock) with 9 inch dc motor.

eek! no! Sorry, but there are so many things wrong with theses batteries.

-Price  
$340 Starting bid, $100 shipping??  
-Location  
China. dont buy anything from china unless it is straight from the manufacturere so you can ensure you get what you paid for. Warentee etc  
-Ebay seller  
A new one, only two sales… not good  
-Duct tape!!  
its held togeather by duct tape!  
-Made for scooters  
Not well suited for full size vehicles, 20A aint gonna do much more than power your vacuum pump and radio.
