[QUOTE="Zum, post: 222638, member: 349"] Nope. Although I should... I understand the 24/36V draw less amps then a big 12V TM. Heres my conundrum: My TM is 50lbs thrust,so lets say it draws 50amps at wide open.(for max,thats is all it should ever want,if working good) It's never going to draw more then that unless theres something wrong(bad connection,loose bolt,etc.) Why would the amps ever go above what the TM wants? I thought if a battery was pretty much dead at 11.9 volts. If it starts out at say 12.6 or 12.8V,how many more amps would it draw anyways? Do those amp meters read dc amps? If so I have to hook one around one of my wires and see whats going on. Thanks for your time. [/QUOTE]
