[Electric Boats] Re: Electric boating association in the US?

 

My battery bank is 8kWh (160Ah x 50V). It is made of 16 Thundersky LFP160 3.2V cells. I'm using BMS modules on each cell made by EV Works in Australia.

I haven't done a range run yet and I'm in the midst of installing instrumentation on the battery side of the system to collect objective data on my usage. So far, it looks like the batteries will support a 1500W load for more than 4 hours and stay above a 80% depth of discharge. Not bad for a 200 pound battery pack.

Fair winds,
