If battery capacity and oxygen supply are independant from each other, then... why not? I just checked how long one can run submerged with your fix, and if battery lasts longer than oxygen or vice versa. Not correct?

In my first test, i forgot to rig for silent running at the beginning, but that was not that important since oxygen lasts longer than battery. Just mentioned it to describe true circumstances.

IMHO a submerged range of X km at Y knots means that you should start your test with Y knots and not with flank speed, since this empties the batteries in an non-economic way...
I agree. But it was not my aim to find out the maximum range. This could be done in further tests. I did that some time ago with stock values, but it is hard to determine where the limit for maximum range should be, if the boat continuously is moving with one Knot for all the time.
