Normally it doesn't, and I would take the opportunity to argue with him, but alas, the blacktip and ss motor(with Bt prop, esc and lithium) are fairly closely matched wh for wh with a slight edge to the BT.It doesn’t work that way. It only works that way if all other things were equal, like efficiency of prop and motor. The prop and motor on the viper and magnus were a 40 year old design for most of their lives. The motor and prop for the Genesis were purposely built for the Genesis. It’s the reason that a 25lb Genesis at ~800watts is faster and runs virtually as long as an XK1 at over 1200watts and over 50lbs.
I mean do you know what the value of having a 65 volt system over a 24 volt system is? Well, me neither, but @JonNellis does![]()
I have about 50 dives(3000-6000ft penetrations) were I was on a converted uv26 with a buddy on a bt/20ah pack. I would burn maybe 10% more wh than he did.
More of a testimate to how inefficient the bt motor really is, lol.
