Hi all, my electric barrow has a 12v 12ah battery that I want to change. I'm not sure what the 12 ah means, but if I get a higher ah will it mean more power or last longer between charges doing the same trips? TIA.

Yes the higher the AH on the battery will last a bit longer

And bigger and heavier.

Does the higher ah mean more pulling power? The physical size of the battery is 200 mm by 100mm. Anyone know the biggest ah in that size?

Not if you go down the Lithium route.

Too expensive mate.

NO

So do you know what a higher ah means then?

Same power output but for longer.

AH stands for Amp Hour.

The power will be dictated by the motor and controller.

I have a 500watt controller with a 350Watt Wheel hub. With 24volts so max current drawn is 350W/24V just shade of 15 Amps. Two 12v 15AH batteries in series so I should be able to run for two hours although it's also dependant on the batteries ability to be able to maintain the 24V and deliver the current.

This is not 100% accurate ,But you can use it as a VERY rough guide.
If you have a 12 ah battery and your bait boat uses 1 amp per hour ,that battery should last 12 hours , if on the other hand it uses 6 amps per hour ,the the battery will last 2 hours .
