Hello Peter,? I started with 4 220 ah AGM batteries. My upgrade to lifepo4 was pretty amazing. Prices are coming down on the lifepo4? You should consider them when the time comes for replacement.? best regards Larry

Hi Larry, I got my motor from Electroprop.com almost 3 years ago.? It was a complete kit with everything I needed including batteries. ? I have 4? AGM batteries rated at 210 AH each from Northstar and can run at 4 knots for 12 hours which runs the batteries down to 50% (Conservative estimate).? I have also found that if I turn the motor on while sailing in 10 knots or more the system will regen and charge the batteries at 1-2 amps. ? I do shore based charging and have Mastervolt chargers. ? I too am very pleased that I did the conversion as you say no diesel fumes and it always starts.. ? Rgds Peter ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of L Schmitz via Groups.Io
