It depends. If you are running 15v, at 1.5amps they would be burning off (15v-5v) * 1.5amps = 15watts. If my memory serves me correctly, you shouldn't try to get more than 5watts of heat out of each one. This is why you shouldn't use ESCs' internal BECs, because they are linear regulators that do this.
