A fully charged electric battery ought to offer sufficient power to propel a water craft for up to 10 hours, and that's operating at speeds of 4 to 6 knots. On average, a depleted battery can be recharge in 12-15 hours or overnight. So this ensures that the craft is ready to set-off the next day. With the ideal care, a battery pack can last for three to five years before a replacement becomes necessary.
Overall, the electric boat is seen as an alternative to the loud outboard engines - its now possible to enjoy the peace and tranquility of a lake while still making good headway. |
