[Electric Boats] Range, perkert and LIFEPO4



Hi All;

I am having some fun crunching numbers for a diesel Hybrid conversion aboard
Jubilee. As a set of date points, I was looking at the range values/graphs
on the SolidNav website. They used AGM batteries to come up with those
figures. I was wondering how these numbers might differ, if LIFEpo4
batteries we substituted.

As an example, they state that on the Islander 28 test bed, a 65a, 48v draw
on the AGMs gave a range of 15.37 NM and a run time of 3.07 hours. I think
that I saw something that said that the Perkert effect was 80% less on
LIFEPO4 batteries, compared to Lead Acid.

Any info out there on the subject, or thoughts on the matter?

Chris
