    50 ah Ionics in parallel?

    If i get 2 50 ah Ionics for 24v ultrex and it is not enough can i add 2 more 50's.I noticed it would actually be cheaper to buy 4 than to get 2 100's.

    yes you can run parallel and series to get 100ah

    that sale price will end soon, if you are looking at the overall total if you need to add 2 more the second 2 will be more pretty soon

    I had two 50ah to my ghost and i could fish 3 days without a charge. I have three 50ah now for 36v and i love them. I fish alot and have had them a year now. No issues.

    100ah is over kill in my opinion. I was told that from Ionic.

    This is totally based on where and how you fish and what boat you have. I have 3 100ah batteries for my 36v ultrex. I go home under 20% almost every time while spotlocked in spring river current. I'll have to run my kicker motor going forward at the same time if I'll be out all day to not run out of juice. For me personally, I wouldn't even think of 50s and could actually have used 125s.

    I’ve have 3 - 50ah Ionics with a Ghost for about 2 months now. I’ve fished tournaments on windy days, not so windy days and 1 on the
    St Joe river. Use spot lock a lot and have yet to be below 70% at the end of the day

    What kind of charger do you use for the 36V?

    Agree, trolling or spot locked in a breeze with my deep v full windshield boat, will zap batteries pretty quick.trolling motor on a bass boat is like pulling a flat sheet of plywood through the water,on a deep v stand the plywood on edge...same thing applies when towing.lol.
