VESC 4.12 Current limit question

Hello, I have a FlipSky FSESC 4.12 that lists a 50A continuous current limit and a 240A instantaneous limit. 

My question is do these limits apply to the battery current or the motor current? I can't seem to find the answer in the product listing.

Right now, I have the motor current limits set to +/-50A when the motor can handle up to 80A, and the battery current rarely reaches above 20A with these settings.

If possible, I would like to maximize the available power to the motor by allowing them up to 80A, but I'm not sure if that would be pushing the VESC too hard.

Any advice on this would be very appreciated.

 

Thanks,

James
