I'm following the string where electric out-of power situations could arise. I have a 36 volt system with a low voltage cutout of 30 volts. We launched one time with a destination in mind but found that the battery pack had not been recharged since the last outing and we had a low voltage problem when checking the gages at the dock. Because of the nature of boats, however, we were able to travel 4 miles on that dead pack at 3 mph by running at low power. Can't do that with an empty diesel tank. It's interesting that the fear of running out of charge is so deep-rooted when you can always get more out of a battery if you just slow down.
Food for thought.
