Who wants lithium?

[Offshore 1]

Ran the 125ah starting battery today with a 250proxs. Motor turned over faster than ever. Starting at 6am Turned everything on the boat on. (2) 12 inch graphs, an 8 and 9 HDS. Both livewell pumps and my running lights. Left everything on Until 1:30 and only made 2 short runs. Battery was at 70% when I got off the water. The app showed the Proxs pulling 248 amps on start up. It worked very well first time out.

How can the specs of this battery be compared to the requirements needed of the PRO XS motors??? Where they need a minimum of 800 CCA... I see this battery has a max output of 350 amps... and your 250 Pro XS pulled 248 amps at start up... I guess, How can you see a side by side comparison.

I am not sure how 350 max amps relates to 800CCA. I was skeptical at first, but was assured it would work. My motor has never turned over this fast. If I get half the life out of these they say I will, I will be thrilled.

keep in mind CCA is at 0 f. There is an equivalent I saw somewhere. It may have been with one manufacturer. I will try and find it. Bob

Let us know how u like them really interested interest

[grout-scout]

I know I’m stupid (just want to get that out in the open), but why couldn’t a person order 1-100 amp and the 1 or 2-50 amps? One of you electrical genius help this dummy understand why that’s bad.

On batteries connected in series your amp hours available is no more than the battery with the lowest rating.

I thought maybe they would average out between them. Makes sense they wouldn’t though.

Fished a tournament today and got a good test on my battery’s. 10-15 mph wind fished mainly main lake. Came in with 73% charge on batteries. 3 50ah Batteries’s.

Dam they are tempting....but i'm saving for the new Garmin 12" unit......IF i was not, i'd be getting some batteries....

[bobcoy]

Guy's, Please put in a post as to how it is going. Especially if you have to use the warranty. For me that would be the only reservation for not saving a pile of money. Bob

How long were you out fishing in these conditions??

Forgot to say tournament was 6-2 on Kentucky and Barkley Lakes.

Watching.

I’ve got my order in, I’ll see how they do when they get here. I’ll really be able to put them to the rest as my big motor is blown so right now I’m trolling only.

Spent Saturday fishing 6am to 2pm. I again turned on everything and left them on. Got home with 66% on the 125ah. Battery was completely charged in just over 4 hours.

So you fished 6-2
came off the water at 73%

so 12 hrs might take ya down to maybe 50%...
not too bad at all
im really second-guessing the 50AH but you’re turning me around on it

I am on the fence as well with the 50ah trollers, but after using the 125ah starting battery, it looks like 50ah for the trolling motor will be way more than I will ever use.

Much appreciated!!

How long were you fishing in those conditions?? I'm still at a toss up to get rid of two of my GRP 27 Cabelas agm's for the 50 AH Lithiums, especially since they aren't much more than a year old.
