I haven't been following this thread from the beginning but I saw the
comment about max draw from 12, and 6v batteries (500 amps on a 12v will
kill it quick)
I'm running 8v floodeds and a Curtis 1221B controller. I've never managed to
hit 400 amps draw. I've hit 300 for a few seconds a few times but when I
hill-climb, sometimes I pull 200-240 amps for as long as 1-4 minutes.
Is this too much for 8v batteries? I have 3,000 miles on them so far and
haven't noticed any problems. Well....'cept for that one that blew up
recently and that was my fault. A loose cable seemed to be the culprit.
