Lithiums what a difference between those and lead acid.....

[twitch]

Fished another tourney where my outboard did not start, but stayed on my trolling motor and spotlocked a few times winds were 10 to 15 ENE after 8 hours in the tourney I still had 70% battery life in my lithiums try that with a lead acid battery...lol and no getting weaker as theday went on just as strong at 3pm as they were at 7 am. Glad I made the change ,just wish I could run one on my outboard but cannot...

Yeah I’m beyond belief with mine!! I’m just a small boat, 12v 45# tm…. I can fish 2-3 days and barely use any charge!! I think I could go 4 or 5 before having to charge but I’m not going to try that..

[basscatlildave]

I have my first ones and love them.

[Whopperstopper]

Twitch---what brand do you use?

After having Lithium for 21/2 yrs another benefit that I have found is no corrosion on the posts to clean off.

I have ran them for 3 years now on T motor and engine. Changed T motor to a 36v last year I'm very impressed with them.

[Highcentered]

I know I'll never go back to lead. And the app to keep an eye on things is nice too especially when the trolling motor is working overtime on windy days. My only regret is I only have a pair of 60's on a 24v Ultrex but that's more than good 99% of the time.

Lithium for the win, a game changer for sure!

I have a little BassCat Margay 17'7" and the 100ah mini lithiums make it easy to do 36v and save weight and space. I actually have 4 100ah minis and a lead acid starting battery. Would not be possible with lead acid.

Why can you not run one on motor?

I think it's the charging system on the older motors.

I think it's the charging system on the older motors.

Yes, the old stator charging systems.

[250bassFL]

Yes, the old stator charging systems.

I thought about getting my nephew to put them in my boat so if these in the medical field down here ever decide to finally fix me, it would be ready when I am able to. But I would have to get a newer version of the Stealth1 DC charger if I still wanted the on the run charge. A new trolling motor. So I just said the heck with it. When time comes I will have someone put more wet cell lead acid in and use what I have. If that time ever does.

I'm right there with you. All we can do is hope tomorrow or next week or next month is the time.

Never an issue ever fishing all day with lead acid batteries.

[TMG]

Gald it's working for you Al.
I decided to get one for my pond hopper. Just a 10' pelican.
I went with a 140ah lithium. Only got to use it twice so far.
I charged it to 100% then used it twice without charging again.
22 hours of fishing in heavy wind and I still have 60% power.

I am the same. Never really had an issue. I own lithium's and really do not notice a difference at the TM at all. Couple times I was running on 7 or 8 on my ghost all day with SLAs and never had a real issue fishing that day. Though i did deplete the batts pretty good, i was more worried about them being charged the next day.

I'm sure I've shortened the life of a few lead batts by drawing them down more than what they like. Not an issue with lithium.

I know the weight difference between one 36v lithium and three 12v lead batteries is a game changer. My Ranger pops up on plane much easier than before. It may have shaved a bit of top speed but I haven't noticed it.
