Higher pinions = safer MMM's? Or no? Someone's lying....

No, I'd suggest running BIG, high quality batteries. The best way to prevent voltage rise on the bus is to have low impedance batteries.

Lowering the voltage is an option, but the batteries are more important -- insufficient batteries will cause high voltage rise on the line even with lower voltages.

Thanx!

Why do you suggest using a123 cells? They have high internal Resistance and drop heavily under load. Even in 2p configuration.
