    Lithium Pros Batteries

    Considering investing in Lithium Pros/Lithium-Ion batteries for a 36 volt system. Not interested in lithium start up batteries, prefer AGM. Does anyone have any experience using the M3165-36 65AH (150 reserve minutes) model? Or is the TM3138-36.4V 38H (92 reserve minutes) model sufficient? These batteries will be used on a 20ft rig, with power poles and tournament load? Just a weekend guy that fishes 10 local tournaments per year. Will the 38H last a full day w/ heavy TM use??

    I'm no expert, but you could probably get by with 38ah. Our definition of heavy TM use is probably different, but under my heavy use I think I could kill that battery in ten hours.

    think with 1 battery (36v) you need 50ah minimum depending on how hard you use it.

    I would go with a minimum 50ah and I would compare the cost of getting 3 12v batteries vs a single 36v. Reason being you could sub in a battery for a day if you needed to, or use it that way until you are able to get a replacement. If the 36v has any issues you will be out until it is replaced

    We have been running the Lithium Pros 36 volt 65 amp hour battery for 2 years with zero issues. We fish windy points quite often. We charge the battery after a hard weekend of fishing, 12 to 20 hours of use.
