Math and physics rule. Calculate volatage and amperage and you know what to buy. No need to use expensive Milwaukee batteries. Happy that you didn’t ruin your expensive battery
The side effects of higher voltage on the motors are rated for is that the resistance stays the same, so the amperage (and heat) on the motors will go up (V = I * R). But, let's say those motors are tough and can withstand the heat... The second problem is that when you increase the motor speed, you're losing torque so it may not be able to climb as well (or handle as much load). I've never tried anything like this, but just some things to consider.

@@dave_kimura great insight!
