The amps won't cause issues besides change the length of time you can run it. This unit operates on a draw of .75 A so that only means an 8 amp battery will last a little over 10 hours whereas the 12 amp will last 16 hours. As long as you're running a 12 volt battery and it was charged prior to use then your connections are likely your culprit. Douse the connection points for the battery and FF with contact cleaner then apply dielectric grease, when you connect everything make sure it is nice and snug. Just my $0.02
