I have a basic set up with the 50lb thrust endura max wired directly to the battery. Is it normal that as the battery ages/dies that the motor will lose top end power ie: full power results in the same speed as low power, and that as the battery reaches the end of it's duty life that this will happen earlier in the trip?
 
That seems to be how it has always worked for me. I can tell when the battery is low when I keep twisting the handle looking for another faster speed!
 
My Endura Max 55 does not do this until the battery gets really worn down.
Are you running a deep cycle battery?
 
thats how it works for me, last friday I knew my battery had was dying cause 5speed equaled 1st speed..
 
I haven't run my battery that many cycles to see this reduced output, but for those of you that have, does the battery take a full charge? And when you discharge to around 50% is the run time less and at lower speeds?
