No current to speak of however it was very windy. That's why I say they are approximate. I'll recheck them on a better day.

You are probably getting inaccurate readings because your meter can't respond fast enough to the pulses from the speed control. The closer you get to max speed, the more accurate your reading will be.

Question: With the 24 volt terrova, does the draw come equally from the 2 batteries, or from one until drained then the other??????????????

I have the 55LB riptide with i-Pilot and there is no way it draws the advertised amps or my battery would not last as long as it does. I think the #'s posted above are about right and may be a little high even.

All TMs draw equally from all batteries except for multi-voltage setups like 12/24 when they are on the lower voltage.

It draws from both equally.

That is one of the reasons I use the word "approximate". So far I have never seen anything on the web that gives even this.
