Will a 1/3 horse power sump pump motor burn up at half power?
I am building my own battle bot and I'm working on running it off of two 12V batteries. It will be driven by two heavy sump pump motors. I will only be able to obtain a possible half power off of the batteries and I need to know if that will ruin the engines. I have been told it will by a freind but I dont beleive her. So I need some help. I dont want to waste/ruin the motors after all!
