Default Converting cordless to corded

formulated on Sunday :
oops
x4m = 2.34v & 40W, no good at all.
2.5mm^2 - 1.4v no
4mm^2 - 0.875v 17.5W no good...


You (and the OP) may be confusing start current, with the run current.
It cannot be drawing anywhere near 15amps when running, or the
batteries would obviously last no time at all. Call the battery
3amp/hour 15amp load = 12 minutes run time.
