After running a few minutes to get the battery charged back measured the amps going to the bus with everything off except engine stuff and it was 6 amps at 1400 rpm and 10 amps at 4500rpm. So my 1 hour on the battery only flight at 5000 rpm probably consumed most of the amps available in the PC625 battery.

 
Hi Bernie, 
 
Interesting numbers.  They are 1.7 amps less than mine (when I subtract out the EWP), but the increase with rpm is the same.  We both essentially measured 2 amps more per 1500 rpm increase, which is good to know.
