Re: [Electric Boats] Electric Scooter Batteries??

I am some what curious about side by side comparison myself. At $500 dollars maybe I'll just buy one and compare it to my Travel 1003. Though to be fare I would need to replace my Torqeedo's prop first, it is pretty beat up for a fair contest. At a $100 bucks for a new prop, I have just been living with the slight out of balance vibration for around six months.

I have been considering buying a spare Torqeedo 1003 battery pack anyways, to have more range. But the cheapest quote I have found is $500 bucks without shipping. So I could buy this motor and a larger battery for about the same price.

Hmmmm.

I took a look at "electric bike batteries" on Amazon.
Plenty of 48V Li batteries listed, with chargers, in about the $300 range.

My question is concerning the rating of the batteries (as VERY LITTLE documentation is provided - as is so typical of so many products imported these days...).

The listings give a rating of something like: 48V (56V nom?) at 18AH
But in the further specs, the mention 2-2.5A output...

How fast can you discharge the battery? Can you draw 18A (864W) for one hour, or do you need to limit the draw to 2.5A (120W) max?

I have a Lithium battery 15amps at 48v. It is very common for electric scooter and bicycle on the market.
