Thanks. I think I'm averaging around 40 amps based on the time my battery lasts in recent tests. So that's in line with your info. On Dec 31, 12:13 pm, Frank Pittelli wrote: > When operating at 12v, I used 30-40 amps as my normal operating current > estimate based on various measurements we made

When operating at 12v, I used 30-40 amps as my normal operating current estimate based on various measurements we made in the early days. Peak current draws of 60-90 amps are possible when running EV Warriors at 12v with excessive loading (such as improper gear ratio or when the motors are sta

The Cromwell is running two EVW's at 24v provided by two 18AH SLA's in series. I've never measured peak amp loads but I've never blown the 60A fuse which is protecting the ESC. My ESC is also current limiting so is probably a factor to consider. Steve On Dec 31, 10:20 am, HV wrote: > For thos
