I have been running 3x100ah LifePO4 batteries for my trolling motor with the PP Charge for going on my fourth year now. I have always had issues with the second battery discharging. Have had the PP...
You already have the PP Charge, so easiest would be to parallel two AGM batteries and call it a day.
Or put in a large AH lifepo4 starting battery.
Otherwise you are not getting the full use...
Minn Kota does not recommend using the MK 1/2/3DC chargers on lithium batteries. They do not go in to details as to why. I used one fo years when I was running all lead acid or AGM batteries, but...
Yes, the 60ah LifePO4 battery will give you as much, or even more, runtime than the 3x100ah lead acid batteries.
Wayne,
Does the Advanced GPS Update Kit add the battery monitoring as well? Or do you need an actual Quest motor for that?
Thanks.
It is not an Ionic problem, it is a PP Charge problem. The issue has been reported many times with other brands as well. So much so that PP recommends using a 36v battery instead of 3x12v...
The difference is the voltage setting for the starting battery when the Stealth 1 kicks on.
On the black one for AGM and Lead Acid batteries, it kicks on I believe when the starting battery is at...
If you have not done it, back up your nav data and factory reset all of the units. Turn just one on, factory reset it, turn it off, turn the next on, same thing, turn it off, turn the last one on...
The co-angler coming off as all up in arms about it is a joke and he is a hypocrite.
If, in fact, the driver of the boat was doing the same thing in the morning, as he alluded to in his comments...
The PP Charge will move "juice" from the trolling bank to the starting battery if the starting battery is low enough for the PP Charge algorithm to think it needs to. Genrally your trolling motor...
He is. Great guy and awesome service.
Hard to go wrong with the Ionic 125ah starting battery. Proven, reliable, and at 125ah it will give you 2x the usable power of your current battery if the current battery was new, and the current...
The batteries referred to in this thread are not 100ah, they are 60ah.
I will probably upgrade my Ulterra with one of these kits in a couple of months when boat fishing season really starts around here. I can probably sell my two existing LCD remotes and cover most of...
At that price I do not think they will have inventory for long, so if you wanted a second battery I would not wait. Probably not have any left in a few weeks.
If I did not already have 3x100ah...
I'll second the Weigh Safe. Great hitch and you can get a key matched locking pin for it. But if I know I am not going to towing anything for a few days I just remove the hitch.
Search for Livescope Ice Fishing shuttles and you will see a number of different types from different manufacturers. Summit stuff is good, I use their poles for my Livescope for ice fishing as well...
If you read the description of the Advanced GPS Kits on the Minn Kota website, they are for the older model (brushed) motors. It is interesting, because I am thinking I would get a lot of use out of...
That is a very big AGM just for starting the engine, if you have nothing else connected to it. Way overkill.
And you would not need to worry about charging it, if just the engine was connected to...
It is kind of a math problem for it to get bad enough for the middle battery to shut down.
For example, the PP Charge will mysteriously slowly draw down the middle battery when plugged in and it...
I assume you have 3x12v lithium batteries for your trolling motor?
If so, maybe. If they are rated as starting batteries, then it will work. If they are not, chances are you will shut the BMS...
Ionic has a 12/36 combo charger. Impulse Lithium has one as well.
For those of you that ice fish, you know how powerful FFS is in general.. Here is a good video of doing it through VR glasses.
Would work well on a boat as well.
The next evolution would be a...
Chances are it has always had an issue with the middle battery, but you never got them low enough for it to actually shut down. With 90ah batteries on a 36 volt, you would need to do some serious...
The PP Charge has had this issue from day one, but it is not happening to everyone and even for some it does not happen all of the time. It is always the middle battery, or in some cases the second...
