Indeed, I try to do my math to confirm that I will get what I need without popping breakers. In addition, I've seen even a fresh battery drop voltage when you are pulling power to the drive train: doing your calculations at 12 volts may result in a performance problem in the field. Just our experience though, perhaps others differ. |
For systems where the voltage variation would have an appreciable effect on performance, we run all math scaled to 10V (just linearly scale down the free speed and stall torque).
