Well done can't wait for the day these lithium batteries are closer to the same price of the AGM or better yet Lead Acid. But if MTech wants to sponsor a guy and set up shop in Ontario Canada I know a guy lol
Great video!! Are there any charts or formulas to figure out how to determine what percentage of the volts that a battery loses as it drains down? In other words would a 100ah battery provide 6 volts at 50% charge? I’ve thought about using a separate battery for the electronics but fear without charging current from the motor it will drop the voltage below the electronics operating range. Thanks for the informative videos!!!
That’s one of the best things about lithium’s VERY little to no voltage drop forth entire cycle of the battery. Now a lead acid, yes it will loose voltage from the moment you turn on the first device. As far as a chart, I believe there are some out there for lead acid batteries that go by voltage and tell you the percentage the battery is at. So say it’s at 12.2 volts that would be 65% (just picking numbers) This is also why lithium’s give you roughly twice the capacity or run time for the same AH battery. Because lead acids drop voltage and after about 50% they are done and need to be charged. Where a lithium can be discharged much deeper without dropping out of the useful voltage range
The battery in the video would be a very good option for you. It is 12 ah and in theory should last 8 hours. I have found that it last much longer than that though.
You will need to verify that the charge does not charge above 14.5 volts. Most chargers that can charge “AGM” batteries will also be able to correctly charge a lithium.
I’m sorry I miss ready your question. I unfortunately do not know what most outboards will charge at. That is something you would either have to ask your mechanic or test with a volt meter. Again just make sure it doesn’t charge above 14.5v
Currently have the BassTank $699 deal, the echo uhd 93sv with gt54 'ducer. Would a 12v-20ah lithium be enough for it? Iif I decide to add Livescope, would that same 12v-20ah lithium battery be enough?
@@peterlong9629 using the formula in the video it will show you exactly how big of a battery you would need for that length of time. You will need to know the theoretical amp draw of the unit. The 93 uhd draws about 18 watts at 10v but seeing that you don’t want to run your graph in that low of voltage. They typical amp draw us about 1.5 max.. So in theory a 20AH battery would last you 13.33 hours. If nothing else is on that battery. 20ah divided by 1.5amps = 13.33 hours
Yes I cover all of that in my networking video it would be a good watch. The transducer that is connected won’t make any difference As long as they are both the same family of units such as “echomap” to “echomap” or “gpsmap” to “gpsmap” You can not network gpsmap to echomap.
Great information as always! I appreciate you making videos that help me understand my gear better.
Also, love your videos, your presentation skills are excellent
I have also dealt with Drew-craft for Ionic batteries. Very helpful

@@MGMarineTech that’s a huge bonus for lithium!!!
Great video,i was trying to find out what my livescope and livesweep will draw.my system has 2 -12" Echo map ultras and panoptix,cornfield livesweep.
Perfect! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Hopefully it will help you out!
Excellent video thank you
Thank you
Any idea what a LVS 32 livescope system draws. Just the livescope not the fish finder. Thanks
They say the typical power draw is 21watts. At 12v that is roughly 1.75 amps.
Max wat draw is 58w and at 12v that is 4.8amps.
I made my echo 95sv portable so I can use on my jon boat. Curious as to what battery I should use for 6-8 hours

Will most outboards charge the duo purpose lithium battery at the correct voltage?
You will need to verify that the charge does not charge above 14.5 volts.
Most chargers that can charge “AGM” batteries will also be able to correctly charge a lithium.

It all depends on how long you need it to run for .
@@MGMarineTech When I do fish, it's anywhere from 6 to 10 hours that I'm fishing.

Can I share waypoints with a 12 in 56 to a 10in 54 transducer?
Yes I cover all of that in my networking video it would be a good watch. The transducer that is connected won’t make any difference

You can not network gpsmap to echomap.
@@MGMarineTech awesome thanks a lot I will try to check out more videos. 🤙🏻
Excellent video thank you
