So, I would like to purchase a 10,000mah battery pack. But the pack is only able to handle 40amps continuos. So I do not waste money I'm trying to figure out what I am currently using amp wise.
So here is my math.
4200mah=4.2 amph hours.
So this 4.2 amp pack would last an hour if there was a continuos 4.2 amp load.
At 8.4 amps continous this pack would last 1/2 hour.
At 16.8 amps continuos this pack would last 15 minutes.
Since my current 4.2amp pack lasts for 12 minutes about, then I'm probably only pulling 20 amps continuos through this pack?
So it would be safe to use the 10,000mah pack since it is rated at double the continuos load.
The reason for my doubt, is this electric motor was supposed to be able to draw 80amps continuos.
Since I have room to play with Amp load, I could add a couple of cells to the pack, go from 7.2volts to 9.6v and also put a faster gear on the motor, while still being safe in the 40amps continuos range?
Watts you think?
