Are you possibly making too much of this?

You are bored aren't you ... but I don't know. Do you have the answer
to my question?

If you seem to be losing power, don't you just seek the next charging point
and charge them?

What, and sit there and wait ~12 hours or so in an open dinghy in the
water?

Admittedly with our camper you can just start the engine.

Well with out rowing dinghy the electric outboard is all we have,
other than the oars.

We maybe a tad late with the microwaved gubbins but hey, we have gas.

That will teach you to eat half cooked food! ;-)

Worst case, if you can afford a boat you can surely afford new batteries?

I'm guessing you either really don't understand much or haven't been
following the thread at all? ;-(

I appreciate, as a Brexiteer you don't need any facts, you just need
an inkling of an idea about something to go jumping off to all sorts
of conclusions. ;-(

Here, try thinking about this (or get 'nurse' to explain it to you)
maybe I don't have a boat that is like your campervan, maybe I don't
have the same needs with my boat as you do with your campervan and
what I'm doing is all about both trying to eeek out the small amount
of energy I have within the largest mass of battery we can manage,
handle and transport and measuring something that is both dynamic and
non-linear at the same time?

Now, if I were a Brexiteer I could just spin the bottle and go along
with whatever comes up and even make that my new crusade in life but I
simply can't do that.

I work on the basis 'You can manage what you can measure' whereas you
work on the 'I'm not sure what it is but I want it right now'.

So, unless you can come up with whatever formula is required to
calculate the real-time voltage on a battery that represents a 50%
discharge level for a given current then it might be best if you went
back to supporting whatever cause that spinning bottle points you at
next. ;-)
