[QUOTE="linehand, post: 222742, member: 5200"] Yeah I'm getting confused...lol. It's like asking my wife if I can keep my whole paycheck after she already spent some of it. It is not there to give. And this causes heat and resistance. The motor asks for something it can't get. It wants say 30 amps but there isn't enough voltage to push it there, ohms law. This is now not a happy circuit and the battery gets hotter and tries to displace the heat. Something will eventually have to give. Its not going to give it 35 amps it's going to try and still give it 30 but can't. [/QUOTE]
