I have 2 12-volt trolling batteries for my 24 volt Ultrex. Each battery has 175 minutes reserve capacity. Is my Reserve Capacity 175 minutes or 350 minutes? Thanks.

I'm just guessing, but I'd say 175, since you're using them in series for 24 volts.
175. Series doubles voltage. Parallel doubles capacity.
This man is correct.Quote:

You have more run time in series,as the % of voltage loss is half that of a 12v system.
