Ah, that's the point. If the POWER goes up proportionately to the VOLTAGE then the CURRENT won't change - 180w motor at 12v would, if the power goes up in proportion to the voltage, at 18v become a 270w motor but the current would remain at 15a.
I need to know because my speed controller is rated well above 15 amps but if I overvolt my 180w motors to 18v will the current rise too or just the power?
