Very clearly put. But not encouraging in terms of the viability of the
14v version.

What we're concerned about here is the power delivered. P=V^2/R and so the
power increases with the square of the voltage.

It would if a motor was a resistor. Since it isn't you are talking total
crap

However what isn't
discussed is decreases in the resistance which will also contribute. An
improved battery with a lower internal resistance can deliver more power,
even at the same voltage. This is why a lithium ion drill is better than a
NiMH of the same voltage - the NiMH has a higher resistance and so can't
deliver as much current.

More total crap

However it's hard to beat a square law, so I would be looking at trying to
get the higher voltage.


And a final piece of total crap just to get the bullseye
