Some boats engines with stators run at too high of voltage and could result in a bms over voltage disconnect I think the lipo battery manufacturers do a cya by only recommending outboards with alternators Thanks for the great review

Battery Wars is here! The competition among LiFePO4 battery companies is intense. I can't believe how much prices have dropped in the last year. Even with inflation prices continue to drop. I bought two different 12v 100Ah batteries in the last two weeks. Both were under $150.00 each. One was a Power Queen and the other was Redodo. Neither one had bluetooth but I see all the big players are coming out with this feature. LiTime has a greet reputation and I would not hesitate to buy one of their batteries.

What is your favorite lower cost 36 volt trolling motor battery?

2 bank charger

I have 2 battery and go 24v , how should I connect then monitor ?

I got all 5

do they make chargers that will stop at 80% charge? Seems like a great product to produce haha

def learned somethin'

I have a dumb battery (no bluetooth) and a dumb charger, so I don't have a good way to determine SOC. I typically charge up every time simply because I usually don't know how much I will need the next time out. My buddy who converted to lithium years before I did operated the same way and his battery is currently somewhere around seven years old and still retains 95+% capacity (he has a smart charger now that shows this, but didn't for many years). I bought the same battery he has (Battleborn) and I had to have it replaced under warranty after three years because it dropped to 50% capacity. I believe it went bad due to a defect and not because of how I charged it, but I can't prove that.

Just throwing this out there ecoflow just came out with a 12 volt 100ah deep cycle marine trolling motor battery for about 217 dollars but it doesn’t have Bluetooth .Good quality cells with 6000 cycles and good vibration protection. But you need a battery monitor(shunt) because lifepo4 Should be stored around 50 percent not 100 percent and for best cycle life should use from 100 percent to bms reading of zero. This may seem controversial but just check with will prowse on utube

Looking to upgrade my trolling motor batteries, running a 36v ultrex 112lb thrust. Fish tournaments usually from 7a-3p. Wondering if 3 12v 50ah will do me good and be enough power. Thinking power queen or li time. What are your thoughts.

How long that battery last you without charging

How long of a day would you have with this 100ah and a 55 thrust Minn kota ? Roughly

Thats a chance i just can't take when im on the water. Or on ice. And all my lithiums come with a 10yr warranty. So if they crap out before then, thats fine their on warranty. If i can get 10yrs out of these im more than happy. And you should check other sources. Some say theres more damage done by not having them at 100%

Degrading, not degredading. Good info otherwise

Will one litmus 38.5 blutooth run a minkota 120 thrust ultrex for a full day? Would I need two?

Hi, great video! I ordered and just received shipment of this battery based off your video. Definitely excited. But, the manual states “this is not intended to be used to start any devices, please DO Not use it as a starting battery”. Clearly you have been using it. My plan was to used this as a cranking battery for a 2019 Yamaha 90 hp SHO and run electronics. Any reason to not move forward? Thx for your input!

sounds like a good way to not go above 90% charge and avoid degrading a lithium battery

This is awesome info! Thank you. I have a question tho. I'm planning on upgrading to a 24v trolling motor with spot lock and my lake is pretty windy on average. I was planning on a 100ah I tend to go out for most of the day. Would that be overkill?

How long does a 24 volt 50 ah battery last. I am currently using 2 - group 27 AGM

So I'm leaving mine plugged in all the time

Good.. 😊

Hooked two LiTime100ah TM batteries up to my RV. They are working great! Definitely recommend these batteries, teo cost what one of most of the other brands cost. Now to see how long they last.

So alternator/run n gun chargers that keep your lithium batteries charged up while big motor is running are not good things to use ? Many lithium battery mfgs are now offering them.

The problem with all of this is that, it’s good until something happens, I don’t speak Chinese, what happen to you get what you pay for, now I could complete wrong,

I bought the 2 pack Litime 12V 100Ah group 24‎ (Model L12V100-RV-Pack2-US-0) for my trolling motor. It doesn't have the blue tooth monitoring. What is a good option to see live feedback on the state of the batteries?

I wish the LiTime 24V 50Ah TM LiFePO4 Lithium Marine Trolling Motor Bluetooth Battery came in self-heated model :(

Love the info video!!! Does the same rule apply for my electric bike lithium battery witch is a big long ranch battery???

Love this info video and thank you!!! Is it the same rule for my electric bike lithium battery????? witch is a very large one????

Price seem to be coming down rapidly on lithium batteries. Yippee. It's the unknown of the names that concerns me. I get that this is a new and vibrant market. Thanks for your work. I am trying to find the best way to upgrade the 5 batteries in my boat.

I have had a 24V LiPo4 with Terrova trolling system for less than a year. I have been charging them to 100% upon returning from a 4-6 hour river fishing trip. I am having hip replacement surgery in a week then going to Florida for two months. They are fully charged right now. How long should I let the prop rotate if I turn them on while boat is on trailer in driveway to get to 40-60%? Or should I do that at all? And is there an easy way to check % used/remaining?

Great information thanks.

If I installed that shunt on a 36v system with 3 batteries, would it give me the Ah remaining on 1 battery or all 3?

I, am working in a moto school in Québec where we have long winter 4 year ago we change all the batterie for lithium and kept them all winter long on intelligent charger in the spring 5 months later, all the bike started but all the batterie were not able to keep there charge So we haded to change them all again only after only one year. The next winter we were advised to charge them only one time in the middle of the winter for a day only, which we did, never have a problem since They lasted. we are talking 15 Honda 500 so I completely agree on what you talking Thanks for the video from a French Canadian 👍😊

"Probably in one of two boats"... pun intended? lol.

Can you please make a video of how you do a capacity test?

Micheal, what are the reasons a lithium batteries protection system will shut your battery down ? I know letting it go to 0 volts will shut it down. So if I’m on my boat and battery shuts down what are all the causes? And how would you get it back on while you are on the water ? Have ever had one that had plenty of charge turn off on the water ?

What happens when you don’t charge them and run out of battery on the water because you were trying to keep them in a range that you can’t actually measure?

Just charge to 14V with full absorption no harm done no matter how often you charge. Calendar aging is going to have more effect on cell life than constantly charging to 14 or 14,2V

How do you check the capacity of a battery?

Looks like a good option for a trolling motor, but a little overpriced for stationary solar battery bank, where size and weight don't matter as much as bulk storage.

can you try to look at some 24 an 36 volt also

Would the BMS system not manage the charge cycle to optimize these ranges- for example the power-pole charge? It seems logical to me that the BMS should account for this so all you have to do is plug them in and let the BMS manage the charge cycle?

So is there a way to test your batteries capacity?

So you are saying a DC to DC charger in an automotive application is no good

I just bought 2 WattCycle batteries. It was recommended by another popular channel, before I discovered your channel. I’m very happy to see that you also recommend the choice.

Loved the video. Thanks. I'm curious of what you think about the Watt Cycle 12v 300AH Mini battery. I'm thinking of building a couple of power boxes with this battery as the storage component.

Great educational video. I appreciate it. I have the same motor as you, similar boat. My question is what top RPM were you running on the prop you chose?

Tanks for edvice bro, mucho apreciado 😎

I wonder how much damage I’ve done? Charged it to 100% seventy times this summer. Now I know! I will draw it down to 50% for winter storage. Thanks for schooling us.
