Whose had success with a cheaper lithium?

[Junk Fisherman]

So I'm looking to get a dedicated 12-volt lithium in the 50 AH range to run 2 units on the bow. I don't fish big tournaments so I'm looking to save some money by getting one of the generic lithiums listed on Amazon. Anyone had success with one of the cheaper brands? I already bought a brand name 33 AH battery and wasn't all that impressed with it so it is going to use that to run my unit at the helm. Thanks for any advice.

While I wouldn't call them necessary cheap lithiums, they are not the most expensive... and you get great customer service and warranty. Of course I'm referring to drewcraft and Ionic. Only hurts once!

Get what ya pay for, buy cheap get cheap. Ionics is the only way to go for Lithiums.

I feel like if you don't fish big tournaments, you don't deserve lithiums in the first place.

I've got 1 full season on my Ionics and I'm very satisfied.

Agree completely! You get what u pay for

I am on year 2 of a set of Battle Born lithium's for my TM, (3) batteries.
I have no affiliation and paid book price and would do it again.

Everybody talks about the weight you save and while true for me it is the power.
I can jump from point to point for example with my TM, power set on maximum and do it all day long and never run out.

I have loved my Relion Lithium tm batteries and am considering a cranking battery when the one I am using plays out. I would not be afraid of any brand that is designed for boat use.

Been running my graphs on a 100ah Chins battery most of the year, no issues.

3 - 50ah ionics for the trolling motor

I'm gonna have to disagree on this one. I bought two 50ah Aims power batteries on Amazon 5 years ago. They've run my ultrex with ZERO problems. This year I upgraded to 100ah. Been several months, numerous trips and I am completely happy. 1/3 the price of Ionics

The WEIZE Lithium’s get great reviews and have quality components. The price is amazing. I have run Fuel Zero lithiums for the third season now and zero issues. And, yes, mine have Bluetooth app although I never use it anymore

Am running a Weize 100 ah for 3 Helix 12's, Mega 360, Megalive & 2 Powerpole blades as a house battery. Am adding a Helix 10 this winter. Using a Noco 10 amp charger for it. 1 season in, so far, so good. Have not dropped it below 25% yet according to the Noco when I plug it in after 8 -9 hours use.

Never understood the need for wanting a barely adequate minimal sized battery solely to power electronics.

Careful.......Adding another unit may put you past that 100ah capacity. Rough math is you are going to have at least a 13ah draw with just the 4 units so not gonna get 8 hours if they are all on all the same time.

I’m cheap, if I were going to switch today I would get the Weize.

100ah dedicated electronics power.....Weize 👍 I had an issue (100% MY fault) and the CS was really good....👍

[smalljawer]

Bought a Weize 100ah off Amazon, got 4hours out of it. Oh well, its was cheap................................
