Battery life question.

Is it normal (historical) for the batteries in a Porpoise Class to deplete to 25% when running at 2/3 for 2 hours?

Thanks Steve. I thought my underwater time seemed a little low even at 2/3.

What I've seen seems pretty consistant with what I got in SH3.
Try the photo recon single mission. It's possible to get all the way in, take the photo and get all the way out of the harbor using 25% of the battery.
