All the lcd diplays report voltage on the top and that is the main pack voltage or the incoming solar voltage with amps for port motor, starboard motor and solar amps in along the bottom of the three lcd dispalys.<br>52.5 52.6 52.8<br>21.2 21.3 11.2<br><br>So the bank is a 20 kWhr made from 16 400ah lithium battery cells wired in series.<br>If the boat is 6000lbs and we do 4 knots with 30amps of energy 20+20-10=30amps x 52.5 volts puts us in at around 1500 watts of energy to go 4 knots.<br><br>Conversely we can burn 140 amps with the engines at 52.5v is 7350watts of power gone. This is wasted energy though as these are not the ideal hull shapes to utilize for an electric boat. The result is 6.7 knots so I have been looking at ways to further lighten the weight and or focus more on placement as the brochures state a single 18hp pushes a Bobcat at 8knots.<br><br>Other things come into play there though with the props and the placement of the engines.<br>
