3 X 12V lithium vs 1 X 36V lithium

[willwork4fish]

Does a single 60Ah 36V lithium (Dakota 36V for example) provide more Ah's than 3 X 12V 50Ah lithiums (Ionic 50Ah for example)?

[DREWTICK]

lithium's are all about amp hours so yes a 36v60ah battery or any brand would have more run time than 3 12v50ah of any brand

3 12v50ah is still 50ah

we have some 36v options available also

Yes, 10ah more. We offer a 36v-60Ah, BBC Pricing is $1061.65 Shipped

Is 60 more than 50?

I went with a single 60 Amp 36V Lithium from Impulse.

I am thinking of doing the same thing! How do you like your setup????

Long dumb story but asked the question to settle an argument with a guy looking at lithium. I've got 3 50's and he was saying he was leaning towards that because it'd have more than 1 60...told him he's got parallel and series mixed up in his head and that's not how it works but he kept insisting on it.

Well, I'm still just getting things ready for the new Ulterra Quest motor when they start shipping... Not using the battery yet.

Whats cool about a single 36v battery is, if you add your voltage draw for alll of your electronics, radio, power poles...everything but starter...you can buy a 36v-12v converter and run everything off of the 36v battery. Trust me on this, ive done it on a simple version. I bought a 24v-12v converter to run a fish finder from my battery. ran like champ!!

The issue is, its a bit of a wiring dilemma...but do able. wire troller to the battery with the required fuse. Then run 2 wires based on amp draw, to the converter, then run 2 wires out of that based on amp draw and length to a fuse panel. then to each device from there.

Boom...any boat anywhere now has only 2 batteries.

What is cool about triple 12 volt batteries is that one can be used to start a motor if needed. And if one should fail it is simple to get another one to replace just the damaged one. And if a 12 volt power supply is needed then one of the three can fill this purpose.

Exactly why I went with separate 12’s. Battery chargers are readily available from Walmart if it ever got that bad too!

A single 60Ah 36v will have 20% more run time than 3 50Ah 12v wired in series. Using the single 36v from Impulse with their charge on the run dc to dc charger is basically infinity trolling power as long as your outboard will crank up and run. I use their 40Ah 36v on my 24’ bay boat with Yamaha 300 and exclusively use my trolling motor for spot lock on very strong tides. I’ve never seen my battery get below about 80%, and every 20 minute boat ride charges it back up to 100%. I’ve probably sold 10 or 15 of these batteries for Impulse just by friends going with me and witnessing the unbelievable performance for themselves.

Why only 10% more run with 20% more capacity?

AWESOME!!

[redzone1]

Typo, yes 20% more not 10%.

So, I would have plenty of battery to run 2 50amp lithium batteries for my 24 volt 80# Terrova?

equation changes with lower voltage. 36x 50 plenty but 24x50 is bare minimum probably more volts need less amps for given job

Depends upon your usage of the Terrova.

Maximum current flow given for your model trolling motor is 56 amps. If you were to use the device at full power then the batteries would give you less than one hour of run time.

36 volt 60 ah Powerhouse would be route id go. Best warranty in industry at 15 year total 10 years no proration. $1100.00 free shipping no tax if you mention this post.

Well...that bites, in the wallet!! $ 900. for a 24v 60amp is stretching a bit more than I thought
