    Put 36V Lithium battery in my 496

    I installed a 36V lithium with a Battery Management System in my 496. The BMS allows the 36V lithium to be charged off the big motor and also allows a single channel charger to be used to charge both batteries.
    By adding the Lithium, I removed over 170lbs from the ass end of my boat. Before, my Talon brackets plowed water into the splash well at idle really bad. Not anymore. Plus all my pumps are now exposed for easier maintenance.

    Anyone need 3- 3 month old Group 27 AGMs and a nearly new MK440 charger?

    I might be interested in the charger. What were you wanting out of it?

    Here’s my setup in the 596
    i can actually carry 8 group 34s (40 lbs each)or 5 group 31s (65 each very heavy)and oil tank and extra prop.The 596 has a lot of room and the 797 can carry 7 group 31 no problem .
    I can also carry my big Milwaukee drill battery and get 8 hours of scope time with it and weighs 1 lbs .Lots of options out there .
