Well, there must be something more to it than he indicated. I've tried 30 or 40+ combinations of numbers in those values and have never been able to stretch battery life beyond about 30 hours at 2 knots. Since it's been a while since I did those tests, I just D/L'ed the latest TM and checked the values in the files, and then checked my current RFB/RSRD/ROW install - I was planning to change mine to match the TM settings and test it, but it turned out they were already the same as the TM settings.

I ran the test anyway, and just like before it only took 29.5 hours to go from full battery to 10% battery at 2 knots in a Salmon class. Historically (according to all the info I've been able to find), that figure should be about 44 hours instead (was supposed to be about 48 hours at 2 knots total). Therefore, even with the TM settings battery life appears to be only about 2/3rds of "real".

As I said - that's better than stock for sure, but it's still not fixed/right. If TM is really getting better results closer to the historical figures, can someone post what the other settings are that have been changed to get this to work?
