Re: [electricboats] Maximum input voltage for outboard?

I second Matt's points.  You shouldn't see more than 55V for long with 16S LFP after you stop charging.  Even a small load will bring it right down.  Have you tried connecting it to the motor?  I understand not wanting to damage it, but it *should* protect itself and just not function.  I also have a 16S LFP battery, and my motor tops out at 60V (ePropulsion).  Also, as a test of the meter you're using, see what it says on the output of the charger with no load.  If that's over 58.4V, your meter may be reading high.

Hey James, that's a nice looking cat you have there!  I considered those Karvin motors for mine.  I'd be interested to hear how well they work.  And, I'm in the Seattle area too.  Wondering if we frequent the same waters (Lake Washington/Union and Puget Sound between Seattle and Everett).
