Type XXI battery endurance
Posted by: kurt ()

Can I have some info?

We all know that the Type XXI had a LOT more battery endurance than the Type VII's.

But how far (how long) could it go as a function of speed?.

But I want to make a curve of endurance vs speed.

Assuming a new Type XXI with fully charged batteries submerged and held constant speed, how many hours could it go at:

2 knots?
5 knots?
10 knots?
15 knots?
18 (max) knots?

(You get the idea).
