Re: [Electric Boats] My conclusion

 

Denny,

Why would 6V batteries provide twice the range? Are you referring to batteries that have twice the amp hour rating? If you're saying that a 6V bank that occupies twice the space, weighs twice as much and is roughly twice the cost will provide twice the range, then so would (8) 12v batteries that have half the amp hour rating of the 6v alternative.

Fair winds,
Eric
