This much I was aware of. I was referring to the JVN sheet's two current values for each gear. Both high gear and low gear have a number listed for "[High/Low] Gear Load Current Draw" and "Drive [High/Low] Gear Current Draw". The second (Drive...) is calculated as 2x the first. I was wondering what the reasoning was for this, and how to properly read it.
