    36v lithium setup vs 3 new agms and 2 new chargers ?

    so I will have the new Garmin force going on this fall.

    currently 24v and going to 36v. batteries 6 years old so they getting replaced.
    currently have 2 chargers an AC and DC charger.

    to add 1 extra battery both chargers have to get sold and replaced plus 3 new agms?
    or single lithium pros 40ah 36v?
    or does anyone else offer a single 36v lithium with charger ?

    A single 40ah battery will not give you much power. Unless you only fish half a day at the very most.

    I run 3 Relion 50amp for my troller and kept the AGM for starting and everything else. Really like the relions so far. I would also check out the ionics. I think they are essentially the same battery as the Relion but have bluetooth that you can connect to an app on your phone to monitor the battery stays/ health. I currently use my Minn Kota charger set on AGM but am getting ready to order a dual pro programmed for lithium charging.

    Relions are totally different batteries than Ionics.
    Different BMS and cells.

    If you are thinking 3 AGMs why not 3 12V 50Ah+ lithiums instead of 1 36V 40Ah lithium?

    the cost of buying 3 new agms and 2 new chargers is very close to 1 single lithium which has it's own supplied charger that charges whenever starting battery is being charged.

    and losing a battery is more appealing than adding. if I was going to shoe horn in a 3rd battery I'd just go AGMs

    Three 50Ah lithiums take up the space of about 1.5 Group 31 AGMs so you'll not be shoehorning anything - you'll actually be gaining space along with having 130+ fewer lbs in the back of the boat.

    We have the single 36v that will go for a 8 hr day or more and a charger we also have 12volts that will do the job also.

    The new brushless trolling motors are very highly efficent running on both 24V-36V, in fact about 40% less power consuming. Since the motor can run off 24V or 36V it would be wise to figure what your fishing day requires. Then to how many amps you need. The batteries will be in series so the amperage does not multiply, so knowing how your day goes is a good factor to consider. If you go that way you only need 1 voltage charger, if you go 24V or 36V then you get into some seriuos money for just the charger. Staying with 12V batteries is way less in cost.

    ya I think I want the juice of a 36v for covering ground.. a few tourneys I found my self on 8 lot.
    and oftentimes using big motor to 5mph idle through areas using livescope. new Force should do close to 5mph.

    You will certainly have a reassessment on that 8 power setting even on 24 volts as it reaches near 100 Lbs of thrust, on 40% less current.
