Tyre warmers, when all four cups are being heated take around 6A if I recall.
Yeah I was gonna say I don't think I've tested the tire sander with it. I know we have run two tire warmers and two chargers off it before and been ok. So far its done me well. I typically at my track day run the X2, Elan R charger, and my tire warmers and I have never had an issue with all 4 working at once. With how quickly the batteries start to drop below the starting amperage threshold it's never shown up much either. I refuse to charge a 1s lipo still over 10 amps. I know it can be done much higher etc and be ok but thats just me.
