If you can live with charging at reasonable charging rates, you'll have a

What do you consider reasonable. One guy says 15% of capacity per
hour. If you run them for three hours that leaves time to charge them
at the twenty hour rate. One inland lake cocktail cruise per day. Two
of the biggest trolling motors made draw how much juice?
