Re: Severe voltage drop

Ryan,
You misplaced a decimal...
Typical battery is 0.011 ohms internal so 262 amps will drop 2.88 volts on a fresh charge. Adding up other typical losses, a team might actually see a 3.5-4 volt drop at the input to the PDP under stall conditions.
Your other recommendations are perfectly stated.
