What affects battery runtime most?
High speed, repeated acceleration and a heavier rider create the greatest demand. Smooth riding at moderate height normally uses less energy than constant take-offs and height changes.
Headwind, waves, a cold battery and inefficient stance can also shorten the session.
- rider weight
- average speed
- sea state and wind
- wing and mast setup
- battery temperature
How to plan realistic water time
For rental use, plan conservatively and keep enough reserve for a safe return. Beginners may ride slowly but often use energy through repeated starts and practice runs.
During a multi-day rental, several shorter quality sessions are usually better than draining the battery to its minimum every time.
Safe charging after a session
The battery and connectors must be dry before charging. After salt-water use, rinse the equipment with fresh water, dry it and inspect the connections before attaching the charger.
Charge in a ventilated, dry place away from direct sun and combustible materials.
- never charge a wet battery
- use the compatible original charger
- do not cover the charger
- inspect cables and connectors
Which rental package works best?
A short introductory booking only needs a prepared charged battery. A villa, family or weekly rental also needs a practical charging location, safe storage and a schedule for several sessions.
