determining characteristics of unknown peltier module?

[Eric Braunhauffer]

I have an unknown (unmarked) peltier module. I'd like to determine the
characteristics of the peltier itself. The only things I know about it are
its size and the fact that it is drawing 6 amps at 12 volts. I'd like to
determine it's output wattage if possible. Anyone have ideas as to how I
could do this?

Thanks,
Eric
