Re: Battery Connected Backwards
48 volts is NOT better for the computers - the most recent laptop
processors are running at 1.8-19. volts for power reasons. It IS
better for motors and power distribution as you can 1. use smaller
wires for both cost and weight advantages (as well as handling and
installation) and 2. reduce the power loss in the wiring because power
is proportional to the square of the voltage.

Power is voltage TIMES current, or current squared TIMES resistance.

I thought I read it was for the computers, but I guess it was for the motors
and servos.
