Resources for Electrical load information

I would like to find out more information about how to plan for electrical loads. I have a basic knowledge of Volts and Amps, but want to know how to plan for how different components / motors / lights / etc... will impact out battery life or put us at risk of failure.

I understand that resistance plays a big part in motor draw, but would like to teach the team what to look for.

Any info would be great!
