100% they help. It seems like it's weekly someone is asking in the Garmin groups "how much is it to replace my glass?". Unfortunately, that's not an option. $50 well spent

I did a video on a trick...

I've not seen anyone really use chemistries other than LiFePO4 in our marine batteries. There are a handful of NMC batteries, but they are in the smaller side for sure. A lot of the difference here...

This video has a spreadsheet that goes along with it, that will help you determine what size battery you need for your specific electronic set up.

What's the BEST Battery Size For YOUR Fish...

They're sending me one of the Group 24 versions, should be here tomorrow. Looking forward to messing with it! The Group 24 100Ah size is pretty solid, it'll be tough to beat the features on the...

Technically, probably not. Most are rated to a 1C continuous discharge rate. Some have a fairly high peak rate before the BMS cuts out power.

Example let's say you have a 40hp engine that pulls...

This video is to help with sizing batteries. You can download the excel sheet, input your setup and estimate runtimes with different batteries.

I've done a few reviews and comparisons on my YouTube channel (below). I think I have 7 "budget" batteries floating around the garage at the moment as I've cycled through doing various capacity tests...

I use a sealskin and my boat is outside 100% of the time with no roof over it. I've not had any issues with mine, it's a little big for my boat but it's also not a "custom" cover either.

There is a downloadable spreadsheet that goes with this video description. You can plug in your setup there an see run time for different size batteries.

I'm still on a 93sv and a LVS32. I'm pretty sure a 34 needs to be my next move, I can't get the target separation I'm after out past 50ft or so and it's not a screen resolution issue. Yet.

This has been in the back of my head for a while.

I have found that since I've become fairly skilled in livescope that I struggle more so than ever to "slow down" and throw bottom baits...

My bass fishing leaders typically start at around 20ft and I consume it from there. I typically want the leader knot on the spool a wrap or two when the fish gets close to the boat.

I clip a key float to my truck keys when I get out at the ramp. The keys go into the console when I get into the boat. So far so good!

Two thoughts, one, it could still be balancing. Two go ahead and discharge it a bit, then leave it on the charger and let the BMS do it's thing.

My only complaint is they melt together when stored in my boat during the summer. Other than that, they're pretty awesome for specific applications

Did you buy the Group 24 batteries w/Bluetooth, or do you have some other monitor to measure SOC?

I wouldn't have any concerns doing either. They're working on a 24v ~60Ah as well. I have a 50Ah video in the link below, still using it today. I have two more 100Ah LiTimes to mess with

They better crank up the livescope voltage until the fish start jumping in the boat like they are supposed to!

It's gotta be exhausting to be perfect for everyone all of the time. :nanner:

Can you post a picture of what you have going?

There are some realllly nice Group 24 or even 50Ah lithium batteries available these days. About 20# a piece and not much more than a new pair of lead acids.

I charge mine the night before I need it, typically. I don't care to let them store at 100% in any extreme heat or cold.

Along with the NOCO already mentioned, Schumacher makes a pretty solid portable charger. There are a lot of poorly built ones on Amazon, I'd stick with a name brand.

What sort of battery are you trying to charge? Lead-Acid/AGM or a lithium as well?

I've always assumed full pool since my Navionics Vision+ references lake level. I would expect you can go to an area and compare the actual depth to the contour map depth.
