There's some mention a few pages back, and then we've done all of the boats over the course of the last several months. I've got some data, CapnScurvy has other, but I don't know as we've got a "table" of the battery charge data yet. I do know that in a Gato, Balao and Tench that I could not get the gauge to go lower that 2% of battery charge, kind of like an "emergency power to get home on - so long as you can hold your breath long enough... The thing of that 2% is, the longer you run with the battery at 2%, the longer it take to charge it back up. If you surface when the chief says "battery is depleted, which is just after the gauge first reaches the 4% level, then the re-charge doesn't take near as long...

Charge times for Tench 18 hours to 50%, Gato 18 hours and 45 minutes, which could well be a function of the TC used, and the fact that the Gato battery was taken down to 2% for a much longer period of time than the Tench boat's was. the 75% to 100% figures are Tench at 15 and a half hours, Gato at 14 and a half hours...
