You speak of capacity...I think that not's quite right?

Watts = Amps x Volts, yes?

Half the amps but twice the volts is still the same number of watts. Watts is your energy available for work. If anything, with higher voltage we'd suffer less heat loss through more efficient electronics.

Not that we'd conserve it. We'd just go faster.
