I have not been able to locate the current ratting on the LM3 and LM3S.

I believe the LM-3 is the same as the LM-2 in this regard so from a thread way back in 2016...

Quote
Q. What is the maximum amperage rating of the LM2S?
A. The max stall current of a LM-2 is 2.0 amps.  The continuous running current should be less than 1.0 amp. The LM-2 motor output is short circuit, overload, and module over temperature protected.  So if you connect a motor that is too big for it to drive it will turn off and report one of the above faults.

I asked Tim that question several years ago, and he wouldn't tell me.
