True, the xl1200 would need tall gearing to achieve the speed, but on 15 cells, it would still likely draw less current than the HV (which is only rated for 14 cells, by the way). The xl1600 or xl2000 would be my choice for runtime and overall performance on that cell count, but the xl1200, even with tall gearing, would still deliver excellent power and runtime. Also note that 17 volts times 26.03amps would be constant 442.5 watts of power or 407 watts (more than 1/2 horsepower), factoring in efficiency(442.5X92%), which is higher than the Novak's power rating of 375 watts(Not that the power rating necesarily determines its output ).
