Grrr.... I've seen this everywhere, and I don't know why it keeps circulating. You can't just say "oh, its MaxQ is x watts at y volts, and so using Ohm's law must be ax watts at ay volts."... the thermal properties of peltier junctions are NOT (repeat... they are NOT) linear... they are indeed quadratic.
