How long will two 26ah batteries last when powering a 24volt 26ah motor?

This is a very simple equation, as the motor is 26ah and the batteries are also 26ah, then they should power the motor to it's maximum effort for 2 hours. However this will all depend on the amount of effort the motor is required to produce.

1, Example;

If it is to ensure a flywheel is continuously rotating then it may last for upto and way above 12 hours. This is due to the only real effort on the motor, is getting the flywheel upto speed.

(depending on how the motor and batteries are wired up, the motor may start chraging the batteries if the motor slows down REGENERATIVE CHARGING)

2, Example;

If it i driving a scooter or childs car with a person in or on it then the motor will have to work harder so the batteries will last 2 hours or less depending on the weight of the passenger.

Hope this helps.
