I'm not sure, thus the picture. I'm guessing that if you use SCR, it's good for 90VDC and 1HP; but if you use PWM, it's good for 115VDC and 1.25HP?

Paul - what you mentioned earlier - how would I get 15 miles out of the "battery pack" that I have? As in, what voltage/depth combination would be best?
