Re: [Electric Boats] Picking batteries - NiFe
I was interested enough in this to do some research on NiFe. I decided to compare them to the T-105 6v. To get 450Ah with T-106 you need 4 of them. Total cost $600, total weight 248lbs, total volume

Re: New Electric Cat
Has anyone had experience with the Torqeedo motors getting dunked? It seems their position on the brackets could leave them under water if a fat wave breaks on the stern. I've seen the Honda outboard

Hi Sally, It's good to hear that a major supplier has broken the $1.00/Wh barrier for the latest generation of mainstream high-tech batteries. I am curious about the voltage that they use to rate

Re: [Electric Boats] Picking batteries - NiFe
Kevin, Based on your criteria, the NiFe batteries do seem like a reasonable alternative. But I have always been concerned with weight in any mobile installation. I do agree that they seem excellent

Re: [Electric Boats] Picking batteries
When we talk Peukert effect we fail to remember one thing. As our lead acid batteries age the Peukert factor changes. This is not true with Nickel Iron. When new the two compare favorably but in time

Thanks for the link, Don. It does look interesting, though they are not giving much is the way of technical specs on that page. We do know that they are using Torqeedo Cruise 2.0 motors running on

Re: [Electric Boats] New Electric Cat
Yeah, It makes you want to believe doesn't it. I suspect the interior isn't finished. Also noticed no one else aboard and calm water. How fast will it go with a full load in heavy sea and headwind?
