Re: Thunderstruck 10kw sailboat kit battery stuck
Interesting thank you Brian! I have a 4x12 lead acid batteries. I don’t think they ever give me more than 55 even when fully charged. Maybe I need to turn in the controller with charger on.

Re: ePropulsion Pod Drive 6
There are no warranty issues with using your own batteries. Just that you don't have regen and thats not an issue for me as I already have a Watt & Sea system.
