high current - 01.25.2012, 12:56 PM

I am not surprised by a 240 amp burst - this current lasts way less than a half second and isn't unheard of with a 4wd truck in high traction. The average draw will probably be less than 40 or 50 amps throughout a typical run(a 5000mah battery at 30 amps average draw will last less than 10minutes).

When using the data log, the sample rate makes a big impact on the draw that you actually see in the log - 10 samples/second will show much higher peaks typically than 5 samples/second or less, for instance - the peaks last a very short period of time usually. The 240 amp burst, for example, may show up as 150 amps if only sampling once per second.
