[QUOTE="magnum, post: 487929, member: 20607"] Agreed, batteries are the weakness with electric motors. That being said I would recommend a 48 volt lithium pack verses traditional lead/agm batteries. Lithium gives you the full 48 voltage through the entire use, where as traditional batteries lose voltage as the battery is used. A guy running a 72 volt outboard changed to lithium’s, loosing almost 600 lbs in weight only picked up 1.5 mph (20% increase in speed) with the weight loss. But not losing the voltage was huge in increasing his distance/ range. [/QUOTE]
