Abstract
A method of monitoring battery range for a power storage system powering at least one propulsion device on a marine vessel includes identifying at least one environmental vector describing a magnitude and a direction of an environmental factor impacting the marine vessel, wherein the environmental factor includes at least one of wind or current, determining a path distance and a path direction from a present location of the marine vessel to a trip end location, and calculating a required battery power for the vessel to travel the path distance and the path direction based on the environmental vector. The required battery power is compared to a current battery charge level of the power storage system powering the at least one propulsion device, and then a battery range notice is generated based on a difference between the required battery power and the current battery charge level.
