We finished 36th out of 113 teams in the Texas Water Safari, and took home a 3rd place in our class . We also beat our last years time by 12 hours finishing the 260 miles in exactly 72 hours. Because of the heat during the day, most of the hard paddling was done through the night and we had a much better time of it due to our TurboCat system. The lights were great. Charging from a car can be accomplished by using a DC to AC inverter to power your regular TurboCat battery charger.
Low temperatures shorten the runtimes of lead-acid and alkaline batteries.
Non-rechargeable 6 volt battery options can be used to power lights of up to 6 watts.
