Does the amount of battery power affect the speed of motor? Like if the battery needs recharging would that cause the 5th speed to be slower?

The motor output will go down if the voltage gets too low, probably just before you damage the motor, however it does have a low-voltage cut out, and LEDs to visually keep track of what's left in the battery. I use one standard size marine deep cycle battery (large car or truck size - not the larger 6 or 8 D), and I get several hours of run time without depleting the battery more than about 1/2. It's a great motor - -I use it in salt water to push a 12' dingy or a 27' (2300 lbs) soling (racing sailboat). Both boats go the same speed at full "throttle".

When I used my 35ah agm battery the 5th speed would slow down at about 80% discharge. It is recommended that you not discharge that much per use. On my 100ah battery never had this problem. Have not yet dc more than 40%.

Oh ya u will slow down drasticaly in 4th and 5th I've drained a battery till no charge lights we're showing in any gear and still made it home

I believe that is a 3.6V battery, and you will need at least 5V to drive the motors properly. So, connecting two or more of them of them in series should work. I found that a 9-12V source with a speed controller (so the final voltage to the motor is 6-8V) works well.

Speeds depend on battery type and gearing. It has a brushless motor and is fully capable of racing speeds upwards of 80mph again, depending on gearing and battery type.

yes, the 1 amp difference should not matter - it will actually make the battery less likely to fail, as it will be able to recharge more efficiently. My old battery was 4 amp, and this 5 amp replacement works like a charm.

no it doesnt make a difference. most motors will run on voltages from 105 to 125 volts.

Because it is a motor, you will not be able to get its full potential using 50 hertz power. It will still work just not at rated speed.

Iʻve found that if I have it on high speed my battery only lasts 30-40 minutes. On lower speed it may last an hour. Iʻve also found that if I donʻt turn it on and off when moving from place to place, it lasts longer. Hope this helps.

Hi, Melvin... I have operated these motors on one 1.5V battery and they run like crazy. What the power source is has nothing to do with whether the motor will run, or not. A solar cell is a power source the same as a battery, so I would say yes, definitely, but the motor would run much slower on 1/3 the voltage. Hope this helped!

I don't know about more pwerful. but I would think that since it is powered by electricity, it would run at top speed all the time without slowing down very fast. I have very rough feet and I could "sand" them down for 10 minutes a day and keep going! so in my opinion, I would prefer electricity instead of looking for batteries every other time i use it.

With the brushed motor it will up to about 20-25 mph with the stock battery if I were guessing. After my son drove my brushless we swapped in a Castle Creations sidewinder 4600kv motor esc combo and a 5200mah 2s battery. Now it is closer to 40-45 mph. And is really tough. My son runs his a naked cage as well no body on it. He loves it.

I havent heard much about it hurting the electronics but i would recommend upgraded your battery and motor and amy other accesory tied in with the battery

I doubt it will even travel 10mph, at least on the stock battery and motor. However, the motor can be upgraded inexpensively. Although I haven't tried it yet (just purchased it a few minutes ago through Amazon for $15), others have used this motor (Axial AX24004 AM27 540 Electric Motor) to speed it up, and I believe it will ahcieve at least 10mph with the upgraded motor.

I just hooked a multimeter up to the lawn mower and was seeing anywhere from 8 amps with no load, up to 20 with a load. I'm going to put a 36v 10ah Lifep04 battery in place of the lead acid batteries. I needed to know the power consumption for a BMS/PCB. If anyone has exact specs on the motor, please let me know. Putting the lithium chemistry in the lawn mower should reduce its weight by 25LBS!

I got mine upto 12.7 mph on 24v. The motors burned out. I've tried them all and the original PW motors hold up best.

I can share my experience with you so you can make a determination yourself as all boats are different. I use mine as a motor for a 27' Pontoon Boat that I stripped and turned into a floating TikiBar (named "Pontiki"). It doesn't move very fast but is capable of moving it around a mile long lake with roughly 4.5 miles of shoreline with 10-12 adults on board. Power consumption is minimal.Hope this helps!

it might go that slow but it won't have any power and probably stop turning when you start working on your project, don't get me wrong i love it but you don't get much power until the higher rpm.

Yes, may be slower or faster depending on the voltage out and battery volts.
