Re: [electricboats] Sourcing Electric Outboards

Sandith, 

I'm  going to go with a 48v golf cart battery like big battery.com offers. $699 for 50 ah, Out of stock of course. That one is lion, the LFP are about $200 more.

Hi,

 

Can someone suggest suitable source for LFP prismatic cells? I am seeing stockout with many suppliers.

We were experimenting with CALB 72 Ah cells.

 

Bregards,

Yes, like the Torqeedos, the locking pin is accessed under the battery. A lame design, if effective and cheap. There are work arounds.

I do understand the integral battery on the Spirit. Do you or others with these motors know if this battery can be used remotely using their power and communication cables? The literature is not clear on that and stateside distributor has not responded. If I had to go to the E-series batteries for remote operation, it loses some of its appeal.
Another drawback might be that the battery has to be removed in order to install the steering lock pin. Am I reading that correctly?
