"Idle test" - 2 x 12 Ah ...

Once the motor RPM stabilizes, it's only pulling 4.8 amps @ 12.3 volts from the pack of 2 x 12 Ah batteries. That's good enough!

Edit: CORRECTION - I was only measuring current off one battery. So it's more like 9.6 amps for the pair.

Time for a mowing test! I just have to solder a couple of the conectors I made first.

Not today though - stinking hot out. Maybe tomorrow morning before things get too toasty...
