Default RE: affect of higher voltage


ORIGINAL: ytell

My intuition tells me that if my configuration reaches maximum current (and power) with 3s, than once you switch to higher voltage, than the motor that now has 15V instead of 11V will use less AMPs to achieve the same working point (maximum power).
What's wrong with this logic?

Doesn't work that way. Like the guys have said, more voltage yields more rpm, more current, more Watts. The same size motor with a lower Kv that would result in the same rpm with the 4s would produce the same Watts and lower current.
