He is then implying the battery will draw over 30 amps! That is a
serious draw needing welding or car starter sized cables.... LOL!
I don't think so. But if it draws 15 amps on full....
Now that 32 AH battery is about the smallest one made though. It can
take a 30 amp draw for one hour only or a 2 amp draw for 15 hours. A
100 AH battery isn't much larger in footprint.... Maybe the wind will
come up or there is current, that can make the motor work on high speed
which will draw amps, maybe even 15, I don't know.
