[QUOTE="Tin Man, post: 508533, member: 7021"] Thanks for the specifics about both types of batteries. After speaking with local MK dealer where I purchased, they said that keeping motor foot pedal seeting at #8 would aid in keeping motor from reaching full max thrust. Setting 8 I assume would be close to the 85% stated in install manual. Curious to know those that have 24V Terrova brushed motors with LifePo batteries, how they regularly use their motors. As far as ballast, the TM weight (approx. 60#) plus two wet group 31batts (approx. 120#), plus my weight of 285#...that's 465#!!! The 12V/100amp LifePO batts are 23# each....reducing my bow weight by 74#. I did read that MK recommends 110ah 12V batts....most 12V wet batts I have found, ex Interstate, have only 98ah. [/QUOTE]
