An electric motor drive system for a propulsion device. The system includes a battery stack having an earth terminal and an end terminal and an electric motor electrically connected to be powered by the battery stack. The motor is configured to be connected to drive the propulsion device, The system also includes: a power converter electrically connected between the battery stack and the electric motor; and a switch between the power converter and the battery stack. The switch is arranged to switch between a first state electrically connecting the end terminal of the battery stack to the power converter to provide a maximum battery voltage to the power converter, and a second state electrically connecting a tap point from one or more intermediate nodes, intermediate the earth terminal and the end terminal, of the battery stack, to provide a voltage less than the maximum battery voltage to the power converter.
