    Throttle questions...

    I have presumed that this caution was to guard against extended usage > 500 watts, to not generate more heat than can be dissipated, not to never go over 500 watts.

    Wow, that is "hard core!" I'm not sure if I've even driven a car 250k miles in my lifetime, and I'm not young. If I did the math right, this is 20 miles a day, every day (365 days per year) for 35 years!
