Feedback on Redodo LiFePO4 trolling batteries

[gkropat]

Time to replace my wet cell group31 trollers. Anyone have a well seasoned opinion on the Redodo trolling batteries? Actual service life, support and warranty ??

I’ve had mine since they were called Zooms. Three 100 AH for a Ghost troller. Have been perfect for almost 4 years. Did need some help once when my charger let me down. The customer service was great. Helped me figure out the issue, told me how to test and balance the battery which had gone dead and were ready to supply a new one from their US warehouse if needed. They are certainly less expensive now than when I bought. Since they are in China customer service replies take a full 24 hours. But it wasn’t a huge deal for me

Thanks Eric. Did you add Bluetooth monitoring to each battery?

I've used their 36v and one of their smaller batteries with no issues. Recommend getting bluetooth on whichever you decide on.

Better buy quick, prices go up on Redodo batteries by 34% on the 15th....

I have the Amped Outdoors shunt to read the status of all three (36V system)

One shunt across the three batteries ?

Would be on the last battery in the string. It will work fine for monitoring SOC within a pretty small tolerance.

Be sure and read all of the specs and literature on their amp/hr sizing for TM batteries.

Starting my 3rd season with (2) Redodo 100Ah for the Ultrex and just switched from a 50Ah to a 100Ah dedicated for the electronics. The 50 was fine, but I run a 12" Garmin with LVS plus two 12" Helix with a Mega 360. The 50 would get down to like 30% after a long day. I'm guessing 30% because I don't have bluetooth and just go by what the charger indicator lights tell me. I have zero complaints and don't anticipate future issues considering they worked so far without any concerns. Thus, I cannot speak to their customer service because I haven't need it. That said, they are very chatty when it comes to updates on shipping and provided me with their contact info in case of future problems.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I think I’m going with the redodo 12v 100ah group 31/bluetooth batteries before the price increase.

Second year with mine and so far so good.

FYI. I had questions and issues with the Redodo app and the support staff were fantastic
