Go to Post Namaste. Maybe we all one day will spend our energy trying to raise our own level to match that of the competition rather than trying to tear others down. - Rich Kressly [more]

Not correct. As the voltage of the battery drops, the current will drop also.
Ohm's law: current = voltage/resistance. As voltage decreases, current decreases proportionally. (half the voltage, half the current)

As voltage and current decrease, power (watts) decrease dramatically. Thus half the voltage, which results in half the current, means the power is one fourth of what it was.
