That is quite true, and why I said at the end of my post, that it all depends on whether the batteries can supply the power.

That is incorrect, if you increase voltage you increase current - its proven scientific fact. Its not a matter of 'if you need 1200watts', motors do not work like that. I could spend hours explaining why, but its a Sunday and I can't be bothered.

I'm happy to agree to disagree :)
