Minimum Size battery for E/Motor

[cool][#0000ff]The last two posts...Ron and yourself...pretty much confirm what I have found. There are no absolutes in being able to accurately project how long your battery will last on any given day. There are just too many variables. But you can better learn the safe ranges to avoid problems.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]But, you also confirm what I suggest. That is to take advantage of whatever testing devices you have to monitor the power levels in your battery against the varying useage...with different weather and type of craft conditions.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Above all, be safe and operate within the range of your equipment so that you do not leave yourself stranded...up the proverbial tributary without the means of locomotion.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Since each of us seems to have different motors, batteries, craft and fishing styles there is not much we can gain from comparisons...other than learning what factors influence the power consumption and battery life of our systems.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Hopefully we can all learn enough to help us better plan our trips and to get longer and better performance both from our batteries and our motors.[/#0000ff]
