    Interesting. Do you have a charger or recommend one?

    Will my 18 year old Minn Kota 84lb thrust 24v TM handle two of these in series?

    I would not use the 16v but we do offer a 12v-60ah that would be perfect

    I'll ask the dumb question - Why would I want one of these instead of a 12V one? Could the 16V be a temporary substitute if a 12V one in a 24V or 36V setup for the TM went bad?

    Most electronics can handle 20V and many struggle below 12V which is common with voltage drop. 16V gives more margin for loss and likely more WH.

    I assume that if you put this in series with a 12v lithium that the 12v battery's BMS would shut it down due to an over voltage condition. Not sure though.

    No. The battery is still at the same voltage in any series combination. Not sure why you’d want it in series. 28V might be useful for military equipment, but not much use in a boat.

    Please reread BoatBuggy's post. He seems to be asking the same question I have. If I switch my house battery to one of these 16v LiPo4s, can I still use it as a substitute for a 12v TM battery? A Lifo4 12v max voltage is around 13.5 and I assume the 16v would be around 16.75. Will most 24v TM's handle the 30+ volts?

    Fine provided...........the peak charging voltage of the 16 volt battery charger does not exceed the max permitted voltage of any of the electronics or lights that might be left on.

    Even though the electronics (with switching power supplies) might be seem to spec'ed to tolerate higher than 12 volt battery/motor alternator output voltages, their mean time between failures (reliability) may well suffer specially for those of us in the warmer climates on a Sunny afternoon in mid August.

    We do not recommend using our 16v Battery in a series configuration with 12v batteries, our 12v BMS is specifically designed to be installed in series in our 12v Line of products.

    The 16v Battery is designed to be a stand alone Electronics battery only

    Please call us if you have any questions

    How exactly does a 16v battery provide better images and is there any data to back that up

    Se post #7 above.

    Eta. No proven data. Just makes sense. To me at least. Not an expert.

    Maybe I should have said how does a 16v60ah lithium provide better images than a 12v100ah lithium

    I hope you are not supplying these batteries to Lowrance users or letting people think they are acceptable for use.

    If you happen to visit our website you will see this in the description.

    **NOTE:
    Excluding Active Target Lowrance units, specifically (HDS), have a max Input of 17v, the use of a voltage regulator to limit the input to <17v is suggested.

    Thanks for the note!
