Electric motors and battery combinations...>>>
I'm looking for information about electric motors and the most efficient
battery combinations in terms of weight of adding a battery vs. the power that going to 24volt might give me. I live in an area that doesn't allow gas motors on its reservoirs; only electric motors, so I could only power my 12' jon boat with electric. I'd like to match up the most efficient combination of motor size, battery, and weight. I would like to know if I get longer run time and/or more power with a 50lb 12volt motor or a similar sized 24volt motor? Or, would I get a better weight-power-endurance combination getting a 36volt, 100+ lb motor?? Also, would I get more run time from 2 batteries (1 to run, and one as a spare, i.e., "refuel") with a 12volt motor, or 2 batteries running simultaneously on a 24volt motor? questions, questions, questions... -- Marty S.
