Thank you everyone for the response so far, lots of information to consider as usual. I currently running my boat at 48 volts but considering running at 96 to reduce amperage, heat and a not so silent gear set. Interesting on the 12v voltage limits Jay. 4 packs of 12v 100ah currently look to be cheaper than a single 48v 100ah pack, likely due to the popularity of 12v over 48v I suspect. I currently use 4 x 12v 170ah datacenter batts so I would likely have to run 8 x12v or 2 x 48 to keep range up but more importantly the max discharge rate per cell in check. These packs don't look to have much design around cooling. It looks like either 2 x 48 or 8 x 12 weight about the same, around 110lbs, which would reduce weight by more than 360lbs over my leads .
I have two really nice 17amp 48v Sevcon lead acid chargers, would I be able to use them with these Lithium packs (connected to match 48v of batts of course)?
