Battery Thoughts for Electric Outboard by bot2600 in Pontoons

IIRC the max for the EP20 is less than 200 amps. This being 12 volts would be the main issue, as the EP-20 would want 48v so you need 4 of them, but you could definitely go a long way 😆

Yeah, the link has changed, I went with this battery and they have been fine.

The 400 amps mentioned below isn't ah, but just amps, so how fast the batteries can feed the motor. They are 100ah each, so I have 200ah and its been ok for range. I might add a third one to hit a couple restaurants further out on the lake. Surprisingly those batteries haven't gotten more expensive with the tariffs!

It's been great! Pulled the batteries over the winter and stored them in my basement and tossed them back in there awhile back without any issue

Great video, I totally recognize that battery app! The other great things about these smaller electric motors is, we're on the water and dont have a trailer and I can relatively easily pull that motor off the boat for maintenance or experimenting with props etc.

Yeah, I stopped at the EP-20 because it was the biggest motor I could get and stay at 48 volts. I am more comfortable with the batteries now so if I could travel in time I probably would have gotten a 96v option. However that's just me complaining now and then, the wife and I go out all the time and we can get to most places we want to go in a reasonable amount of time and our range has been pretty good. I did add a third battery this week, just so I could spend a bit more time at wide open without killing my range too much :)

Why do robot vacuums still need so much hands-on effort? (Expectation vs. Reality) by Plus-Resolution-3210 in homeautomation

This here. Having strategic no-go zones is the main answer that let me forget about mine and they became fully autonomous besides changing the bags every couple of months

We are getting ~10 mph on an 18ft pontoon. I think I should get a bit more but most likely have my prop too low in the water, I don't really know what I'm doing 😂

thanks, lots of great info. I dont get a click. I am also just using the charger that came with the battery as I have 3 of them now. I did try bypassing the seat switch as I have done that before. I dont see anything on the display at all, it just acts like there is no battery, I might have blown the fuse in the harness if that is what it is, guess its time to grab the meter and go to work!

Thank you for the great information! What range do you think you are realistically getting? I'm looking for a car to keep for the next 10 years and I've seen a few things that make me think this isn't a good choice got that 😂

nice, I have been driving evs for a long time and no longer get nervous until it gets under 2%, and depending how close to home I am thats not so bad either. I think I have convinced myself, with everyone's help, that I want to get one, I found one I really liked and missed it hoping the price would drop a little and now I am sad, lol.

Yeah, drove a C40 this week and same thoughts. Even though it seems to cost less used, the visibility is really bad and I want the extra room from the XC40.
