But the motor doesn't usually use up that kind of amps continuously.... Unless, you're always giving it a heavey load like on an incline, in bushes, or constantly accellerating hard... :) This is what I think.. I don't know how true it is.. .:)
So basicly what your saying is if you don't go full pelt all the time it lasts upto 15minutes? So whats the point of having the extra 2 cells? Just to have the power ready when you want it? :D
