Lithium Trolling Motor Battery Purchase & Install
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 лип 2024
- After months of deliberation, I finally made a decision and purchased some lithium trolling motor batteries for my 36V Minn Kota Terrova trolling motor to support my guide service and my UA-cam channel. I'll tell you what I bought, why I bought them, and walk you through the install including the bluetooth app to monitor them.
I appreciate you watching my free content. If you found it helpful, I'd appreciate the support by liking, subscribing, buying some merch, buying a book, or supporting on Patreon (links below). Perhaps I'll even see you on a guided trip sometime!

I’m gonna order three battery like you just to help you out my friend
Well you certainly don't have to do that, but if you think they'll work well for you, I always appreciate someone using my links!
This video was epic. It was a great review of all information and well paced. I hope these batteries work for years and years for you.
Well thanks, buddy!
I have the same charger on my lithium set up. Love it.
Good to hear!
Bin running two 12v Powerqueen batteries for two years now. With the Noco charger. Working fine, lots of power and time on the water.
Awesome!
Took a gamble on the Fiunie 100ah batteries with Bluetooth that you scrolled past, for $170 shipped with a coupon they seemed worth a shot. Glad I did, two months in and they are discharging properly still and charge quickly. I can go out for a day and a half straight trolling around at medium speeds, or 4-5 evenings out without charging, it’s great. Just upgraded my boat to a pro am 1750 this week and finally have room for more batteries so looking forward to adding the second one. These will be greats for the diesel heater I take ice fishing when I camp for 3-9 days on the ice at a time in MN. I run amped on my electronics though. Got the Noco genius 10 open box on eBay for $80, I hunt deals lol.
Nice! Glad it works for ya.
I have the Epoch 120amp cranking and three 50amp for trolling. I use the 4 bank Noco charger and the way I singled out which 50 amp battery is which, was to hook up the charger to only one battery at a time and see which one is charging on the app. BTW ...I have to use the Epoch Pro app.
I see, that's a neat little trick!

Thx for the follow up on your lithium adventure. I’m still trying to decide on what battery to upgrade to for running my hummingbird graphs off of. 🤷🏻♂️ 12v vs 16v for better image quality? Any insight?
Thanks. I wasn’t even aware you could use 16V, so I guess im not much help.
great video Brett! did you measure the trolling motor battery compartment depth by chance? I'm weighing the all-in-1 36v 100ah Epoch, but it comes in at 10.7" tall verse the 12v you chose at 9" tall. I tried to guestimate in the video, but i wonder how much extra room you have left to go higher with the 36v. It looks like maybe 3-4".
Thanks man! It was too big for mine unless I kept the lid off, but didn’t want to do that. Mine was not quite ten inches tall.
@@BloemendaalFishing good to know. I have a 2025 202 Pro-V GL on order, not sure i want to risk the 36v order haha. Thank you sir! For all the videos and feedback. Much appreciated!
Oh you got the Lund too! Thanks for watching as always!
@@BloemendaalFishing yep! after almost two years of considering what boat to buy, and weighing all of your input, feedback, and videos also, i went with a new 202 Pro-V haha. Can't wait for it to arrive. keep up the great work Brett. appreciate you!
I have two of the same batteries. I love the batteries but they will not charge below freezing temps with a smart charger. The boys of Georgia had no experience fishing in cold temps. I have the same charger NOCO Gen3 X10. Watch the app when you plug in the charger....it will start up at 3 or 4 amps. The BMS will not work when its below freezing . You need a full 10 amps to turn on the heater. The warranty is pro-rated, nothing on the web-site states that. I believe 4 years is full warranty. Also Minn Kota charger will not work.
Interesting...some slightly unfortunate news. Glad I got the different charger at least.
