For the most part I agree. I have had 8 yeas schooling in Electrical and Electronics, and have been working in large scale electrical engineering for 8.5 years. The electric motors surely can take the current increase from larger amp hour batteries, and an increased number of cell. But they don't do this factory for reliability. The instantaneous torque will throw the shaft off its axis and lead to brush ware. More current, more heat, more carbonization of the brushes, and breakdown of the varnish insulation on the windings. Sure he can do it, but in the long run.... your fixing it soon.
