Can I connect 2 controllers to one battery?
To make this complex question simple, I have a 60v battery and a 60v-72v controller with a 60v 1500w motor for my ebike build.
I bought an LCD display (Speed, Battery, Volts, etc.) but the controller has no display wires! It's a shame. But I found some 60v controllers titled "DC motor controllers LCD/LED" so should I buy one and connect it to my other controller or battery (I don't know how this works) and then connect it to my LCD and possibly even a headlight?
BONUS QUESTION: If all of that is possible, will it drain the battery like crazy?

That doesn't sound like it's going to give you a controller with a display, which seems to be what you want.
If you were driving 2 motors, it would probably work, but you would have to worry about the current sourcing capability of your battery.
