[QUOTE="linehand, post: 221763, member: 5200"] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are absolutely correct on Ohm's law. Good catch Wallijig. Let me rephrase what I was trying to say here. I stated "current flow increase" actually I meant to say "current demand" will increase. Think about it like this: as voltage drops and CURRENT DEMAND increases from a dc battery which has a non linear capacity, you'll get "thermal transfer". Basically the battery will try to displace heat once there is a temperature difference between itself and the electrical components on the circuit.i.e. motor, connections, switches, etc. they will in effect become heat sinks for teh battery. Which increase the resistance on the circuit proportionally. What I am saying is you will ALWAYS be better off with a fully charged battery(ies) Conclusion: low batteries = damage to connections and wiring so especially in weedy lakes keep a full battery.
