Hi John, I solved the problem-had a discussion with Lightning Fan on another thread about electrics who after giving me these wonderful formulas (seems to be in the know about batteries) he suggested that I check the voltage on the individual batteries. I must be an idiot for not thinking of that but anyway I did and the 11.1v 2200mah battery only produced 70.5 watts and would barely turn over the power 46 motor. The battery is about 2 years old so I quess that solves that problem. The weather is supposed to be nice tomorrow so we will see how she performs. Terry
