Re: Horse Power

Certainly no more than 480 watts, since the CIMs can theoretically consume 40 Amps (before the breakers trip) over 12 volts, which equates to 480 watts (Power = Current * Voltage). However, due to losses from heat (which is quite substantial, just try to put your hand on a CIM after a match) this number is probably much lower.
