Re: [Electric Boats] AC vs DC motors - new EC cat

 

I can cruise 10 hours on my batteries alone, no problem. Depends on the speed I want. I have about an hour available at full power. I just don't use full power. And it depends on the size of your batteries, of course. Currently I have 48v, 220AH for about 10.6KW/hr and I am going to add another bank of the same size, soon. Cruising for multiple hours without recharging can be quite practical, if your system is set up for it. However, adding solar charging capability will extend your range. I hope to eventually have 2KW of solar panels and will be able to cruise independantly of generators as long as the days are sunny and I keep the speed very low.
