Hey guys, This is a new project I am working on. I picked up this Nitro Hammer Hull pretty cheap and it is in great shape. I have already cut off the subsurface drive and sealed the hole. I also recently picked up a Tekin Marine 432M esc fairly cheap that I will be using. It is rated for up to 300 amps and should work fine. The hull has plenty of room for cells so to start off with I will be running it on 12 cells. I ordered and received the Orion V2 12X1 motors. I am getting them installed and wired up. I am going to set it up so each motor gets 8.4v. I will be running two 7 cell packs, so basically each motor will be running on its own 7 cell pack. To accomplish this I think I need to wire the motors in parallel and the batteries in series. Is that correct or is there a better way to do it? I know that if you wire the motors in Parallel each motor will receive half the voltage and if I wire two batteries in series it will double the voltage.
Or I guess I could wire the batteries in parallel and the motors in series. Not really sure if there is any advantages or disadvantages for doing it either way. Someone has said that if the motors are wired in parallel then the batteries have to be wired the same. Is this true? I thought they were seperate circuits and did not need to be the same. Someone please help me out.
