I usually recharge at the halt when possible, because I believe it is reducing my fuel consumption during the process (no numbers to back that up however).

Generally speaking best range at speed appears to be around 9.5 knots. You can verify this easly by changing speeds, waiting a few minutes for things to 'settle down' and pushing the 'range at current speed' button. Note that I have checked this with and without RFB installed and the results were roughly the same. TMO may be different.
At 10 knots the range goes down a bit, at 12 it goes down alot, at flank it is almost 1/3 of the range at 9 knots. Supprissingly at 8 knots the range is also less :hmm:
Now I havent tested this with batteries charging and without. Havent really worried about it to be honest. Unfortunatly there is no fuel flow gauge available so were relegated to a lot of guess work.
I may do a little testing tonight to try and verify things a bit more.
By the way where the hell are my manners?
