I can tell you their customer service is horrible. Pretty much non existent.
I understand about price and it's cheap as hell, but why not look at one that is tried and true......

Make sure they are rated for trolling motor use. A motor can pull 60 Amps or even more, some batteries might melt if exposed to this power level. I'm using cheap Lithiums because I'm a cheapskate. I have less than $700 in two 50 ampers and a Lithium charger. Works for me. Yes, all day.
I am considering going to Lithium for my 24 volt motor, any recommendations,? There are 3 sponsors here...ThanksOriginally Posted by fishin couillon

Ionic - have been running for some time now and they are excellent.
What is the official deal on these lithium ionics when charging batteries where the temps will be below 32’ for roughly 3a4 months straight ? I thought I heard that the batteries can be damaged lithium when the temps are that cold? I have even heard of someone saying you have to put like a heater system in the boat which to me can only lead to a fire hazard which I am not interested in. Currently running 3-29 series Wally World batteries which for the past three years seem to be flawless and I just swap them out for $300- at the end of season #3. Thoughts I think literally the only thing that’s holding me back from going lithium is the fact that I live in an area in the Northeast where it is cold for 3 to 4 months a year….. And do not want to shell out big money only to damage the batteries by charging in freezing temperatures
I personally run Ionic.....so i'll recommend them.....give Andy a call and he will help you out......

Yes, I have had them since spring 2022. So far no complaints what so ever. I am running two 50 AH on 24V Ultrex 80. I have it mounted on a River-Pro and almost exclusively fish higher current and yes, I use spotlock a lot! They have been flawless unless the owner is a dumbass and forgets to put them on the charger... :) I am using a Noco Genius 5X3 and honestly, I don't need a super quick charge between trips. Only time I have worn out the batteries is on a second day trip after not recharging completely... Otherwise, they have been awesome and plenty of run time, in uses like tournaments, guiding and recreational fishing.
Two really good choices here on BBC.

PowerHouse lithium best warranty in the industry 15 years total 10 years no proration. Sale priced thru K and K Kustomz to BBC members use code BBC10 at checkout on the K and K website .
Buy once cry once. I decided to stay away from the bargain brands. A month later the money difference won't matter but a bad battery with poor customer service would. I considered several but ended up going with Ionic. Lithium Hub is 1 1/2 hours away from me. Drewcraft is ~3 hours away. If I had a problem, and needed a quick solution I'm sure I could contact either one, and drive there for whatever I needed.
I used Impulse lithiums for my Ultrex this last season and they were awesome! Added a heated lithium cranker last month so we'll see. I use a Noco genius charger which works great for lithiums/AGM/flooded cell.
What size did you buy?
how many years has powerhouse been in around? how do we know the company will be around to honor warranty? is the warranty full replacement for 15 years or how does it work? these questions will be asked with all BBC sponsored lithium vendors. these questions I would like to see answered publicly. with all of these battery companies popping up like weeds, I am sure I am not the only one interested in knowing these questions. thank you for your time.
Powerhouse was formed in December of 2020. The company is based out of Northeast Nebraska its owned by 2 partners one from Nebraska, One from Georgia. Batteries are shipped from there 100,000 square foot warehouse in Norcross, Georgia. This Georgia location is not only centrally located to service there over 60 dealers nationwide ( the bulk in the southeast) it also assures the fastest ship times (1 to 3 days) to most of the country. The have been a leader in lithium technology from the Originators of the 16 volt dedicated electronics battery to their run and gun systems as well as chargers they are constantly expanding their product line . As far as the company being around to honor warranty no company can make the claim they for sure will be as nobody can predict the future , I can assure you Powerhouse has no plans to sell out or go out of business. Ionic used to be Stark lithium filed bankruptcy went out of business rebranded under the name Ionic and Ionic is sold by company lithium hub. Dakota who has been in in business for some time is notorious for never answering there phone when a warranty claim arises and when you finally get ahold of them they look for ways to get out of the warranty. The warranty for PowerHouse I had already posted in this thread. However full warranty specs in detail can be found on my website. https://www.kandkkustomz.com/pages/warranty
All batteries other then the cranker that are larger then 40AH have a 15 year overall warranty 10 years with no proration. The cranking battery is a 10 year total warranty Proration after 5 years. All batteries 40 ah and larger year 1 to 5 powerhouse will send you out a replacement same or (next day after noon) with a included prepaid shipping label for your battery. ( unheard of in the industry). Their goal should a problem arise is to get you back to fishing as quickly as possible. As far as us as a company exclusively selling the PowerHouse brand on BBC.
