Hi Pitt,
Your regen results seem to fall right in line with the "current" conversation.
5.5kts = 1.2A at 54V charging is 65W
6.8kts = 2.4A at 54V charging is 130W
Thanks for posting your results.

I use it both on deck for interest, and down below to watch the charging, Mine is a 28000LB fat bottomed ketch who sails at between 5-7 kts all day long. As I have the throttle in neutral, the key/system is ON, when my speed log reaches 5.5 ktI get a reading of Gen 1.2a, when I hit 6.8 kt it reads Gen 2.4a these are constant every time we tack then build speed we hit 5.5 and the regen starts.
