I too will open up the controller and wire my 2 batteries in parallel and add another 12 in series with that... fun!
The big issue here is the possibility of adding resistance (power sappers) running wires elsewhere. Notice they use 2 poles of the double pole, double throw to carry what could be 40 Amps.
I'm thinking of a Rube Goldberg I saw once where strings and pulleys were used to control a rocker switch from a distance.
