What drains a battery faster, Volts or Amps?

[zoiDman]

Yep so the dna 30 loses 6% of the energy/watts/amps the battery puts out and converts it to heat in the circuitry.
So if the dna 200 is the same efficiency it eats up 12 watts at full output power so the battery is actually providing 212 watts not 200.
yet another reason to provide a bit of headroom on your battery ampacity limit for safety.

They made the Allowance for the Lose due to Non-Perfect Efficiency.

COOL! I did not realize that.

You are not taking into account the losses inherent in the circuitry used to boost the actual battery voltage up to 7.7 volts.
It is minimal but it is there.

1: Correct, I am ignoring the losses inherent in the circuitry.

2: When you say the circuitry boosts the battery voltage you are using confusing language. If the battery voltage is 4 volts, the circuitry does not change the voltage of the battery to something else. The circuitry draws power from the battery, and the circuitry outputs another voltage.

Mechanical mods also have efficiency loss from resistance between the battery and atty, so the atty does not see the full power the battery is outputting. There is just no getting around this.
