Battery and Runtime

The system comes with 1 × lithium battery 100 Ah / 51.2 V (5.1 kWh).
This can be expanded with additional batteries for extended runtime.

Runtime guideline:
5 kWh battery = approximately 1 hour at full power. At cruising speed or partial load, this can increase to 2–4 hours, depending on the vessel and usage profile.

Propeller Recommendation

Recommended: 3-blade 12″ × 10″
This is a guideline – the final propeller choice depends on the type of boat, motor power, and usage. In many cases, the existing propeller can be retained after inspection or maintenance.
