Electricity is not that complex. It's electrons flowing one way through a system. hydraulic flow is really no different than electrical flow. If you really wanted to, you could build a 3 phase hydraulic stator motor and a system to properly feed it.
If you don't understand the analogy because you don't understand fluid dynamics, that's fine. Don't pretend electricity is more complex than fluid flow, though.
The point is, if the battery can't supply the amperage, then the battery can't supply the amperage. People post a LOT about "ripple current" and simply accept it as fact without understanding it (kind of like how people assume fluid dynamics and electrical flow are different), yet nobody has offered a proper explanation.
From how ThunderbirdJunkie understands it, ripple current is from a battery not being able to supply the drawn current, then suddenly supplies it, and stops, and continues that cycle.
Is this accurate?
