I did this test on my Rule 24(360GPH) at 6V and it drew less than half the current as compared with running it at 12V. So about 2.3A at 12V and <1A at 6V, so the relationship is not linear. Li-ion batteries go up in increments of 3.7V running voltage so you're probably going to dealing with 7.4V which would bump up the current draw a little bit.

20Ah would be nice for islander trips where you either have no access to power or just don't want to hassle with charging.

PM me whatever questions you have or you can put them right on this thread. I design/manufacture lithium batteries and am an EE.
