I think the main worry Capn, was what is hightlighted below:

I know that batteries charge faster when they're completely flat and then you have to slow the charge rate as they get more charged up but from flat the battery was only at 37% after 12 hours.
I would have thought that with 3 engines on charge a fleet boat would recharge its batteries a lot faster than that.
Does anyone know how long a fleet boat took to recharge its batteries?
Can this be adjusted to be more realistic?
I'll try me some quick experiments myself (in a "safe zone" of the world) and see what the Gato does versus the Tench... 'Course, this is 3rd in line though, of things for me to do...
