(There is a lot of junk out there, and batteries are an easy way to save money and make the price look good - until it craps out a year later).
I usually run at 10 amps (which is 350 watts) and your battery will last about 18 minutes under that load.
(at 20 amps, that specific battery lasts about 8 minutes - don't be doing that!).
Still, this is impressive performance which wasn't available a year or two ago.
Its interesting that he is not running the standard 36 or 48volt system, but actually 43 volts. Never seen that before (although some people like using a 52v battery on a 48v sytem).
Thanks for the info!

I'm not one of those people who just wants to go super fast all the time. I just want some assist. Basically, I use the 1M to put in the same effort as when I don't have a motor (by pushing a higher gear at same cadence) but I go a little faster. While I can pedal at 15mph with no motor, I can't sustain it for long rides, so 1M allows me to still work hard but keep up or ride in ocean headwinds without worrying being blown backwards, lol. I don't think I'll blow out my battery that way =)
