Landon, Bonis is an example of a smart person who is
seeing nothing but dumb fuckery out of the morons in
the cave diving community. I already posted the
scooter protocol and had a conversation with him
about it.

Landon, remember we had to add you as a training
director for the WKPP due to the overload on JJ
trying to retrain people from the abject stupidity
taught by the strokes.

>>Hi Guys,
>>
>>I'm looking for experience or opinions on an idea
before I take off half
>>cocked and possibly do something dumb.
>>
>>In exploring new a cave, it looks like my buddy
and I may be overreaching
>>the
>>limits of the battery capacity of the Mako's we'll
be using.  I'm thinking
>>of
>>using a 3/4 inch aluminum plate in the nose of the
scooters so we can drill
>>and tap holes for water tight electrical pass
throughs.  The wires from the
>>motor and the battery would be brought outside the
scooter body and
>>connected
>>together with a wet mate connector.
>>
>>This is so when the battery gets too low, I could
hook the batteries from a
>>light canister onto the motor and keep on going.
The motor is set for 24
>>volts and I could easily wire the two batteries in
a waist canister in
>>series.  The Mako batteries are 17 Amp-hours @ 24
volts and each waist
>>canister would be an additional 7 Amp-hours @ 24
volts.
>>
>>Any thoughts?
>>
>>Thanks for your time.  Take care and safe diving,
Scott
