Just wondering, if you are doing this what speed do you guys run at while using the batteries?
You end up running at around 3 knots or so on batteries, to maximize the amount of time you are on batteries and to minimize the amount of time that you expose the snort. If you go faster than that, you have to recharge the batteries more often.
