    What Charger are you using for your Lithium Batteries?

    Im looking for an affordable charger for the 12v54ah Lithium I use in my jonboat.
    I see lots of different types on amazon for anywhere from 30-100 dollars.

    Anyone have any advice?

    Thank you

    Amped Outdoors has a nice affordable 10 amp charger and they have some in stock right now which is unusual about $45.00

    Iconic single bank from DrewCraft. 10amp, not sure if they still do but when I got mine it came with a bunch of different attachment options, ring terminals, gator clamps

    If you have different type of other batteries to charge, may look into the new Noco chargers. Drew is also a dealer on this brand.

    Compared to the Amped Outdoors lithium charger ($45) what makes this charger "better" at twice the price?

    I’d pay attention to this quotation from Ionic:

    Can be charged with most traditional lead-acid chargers that do not have “Desulfate” mode, provided the current levels do not exceed lithium battery charge specification. Using a traditional lead-acid charger that reaches 14.4-14.6 volts will allow the battery to be fully charged. Chargers that do not exceed 13.6 volts will only charge the battery to 50% capacity or less.”

    Minn kota precision on agm setting or Power Pole charge is what we recommend to our Impulse customers. Or a stand alone charger designed for lithium such as the ones on impulselithium.com or from other lithium manufacturers.

    This is what I plan on using with my Ionic 125ah when it arrives. Will be mounted in the starboard rod box next to the battery. I wanted a hard mount option so there was no chance of forgetting the charger. Minn Kota 110 Precision Charger.

    I am using my Minn Kota 330 Precision Charger on my Ionics. It works perfectly on them at the AGM setting.

    After doing some more research I decided to go with the new Noco Genius 10 as opposed to the Minnkota PC110. Smaller footprint and designed for Lithium chargin. Amazon has them in stock, mine will be here Thursday.

    I did see they had them in stock. Drew is supposed to get a shipment in a few months so, i'll wait till then and buy one from him unless something changes and he cant get them at that point in time.
