Re: HELP!!! Trouble with TM and/or Batteries

The other is mainly side conversation between fucawi and I. Discussion on 12V parrellel batteries VS 24V series batteries and usage. It keeps the topic active, until the OP posts some more data. ;)

Hi Guys, yeah I've picked up an 86lb electric motor too, they recommend a 24v, 48A battery - however, I've got a 70A 12v marine deep cycle battery.

The motor has 5 speeds and the top speed uses 1152w, however, the next speed down is 523w.

They also sell another model which only goes up to 624w and they recommend a 12v 52A.

Therefore I was thinking as long as I stick to the second highest speed or below on my motor I should be ok with the 70A battery?

What do you think? Also how many hours would i get out of it at 624w?

Welcome to iboats, Davey.:cool:

You seem to be confusing amp/hours with amps, and trying to come up with wattage. You need a second battery to run in series to make 24 volts.

By the way, don't resurrect old threads. Start your own next time.
