Under normal conditions the motors don't pull 30 amps, but I have blown a 30 amp fuse on the Sturmtiger using the same motors. 18AH batteries are sufficient using SLAs for most tanks. I'm just really not sure about what size LIFEPO4 battery pack I should use. I was demonstrating the KV-2 to some people that visited us and the two 7AH batteries got really hot. One was so hot that it started to bulge so I really need to find a sufficient battery pack for this beast. I was thinking that the 20AH packs would be sufficient to power it. Problem with going over 20AH is price.
