I received my AM3 as well and measuered the power consumption:
-idle: 0,6 Ah
-tracking: 1Ah
-slewing: 0,9Ah to 1,8Ah
Tracking power consumption is almost twice as much as advertised.
Using 50amps fully charged LiFePo4 battery.
Unfortunately I am a bit disappointed here as I need to carry now a heftier battery offsetting the benefit of smaller weight compared to AM5.
So the data stated by ZWO is incorrect.
I assume the AM3 needs more power than the AM5 to ensure enough torque with the small motors.

Can you please check and correct the data in the manuals and data sheets?
Thanks,
