@@deliduncan5405 I use them for car audio. 6months in I have nothing bad to say about them. They work great for my system. I have 2 100ah power queens. I'm pushing a jp63 like 7000 watts RMS. And they hold at 14.3v

I love you do small and large batteries unlike other UA-camrs. I'd like to see a 24V Lipo4 battery teardown from you because I don't think I've ever seen one.
I bought the 50 ah version about a month ago to supplement my solar stuff I’ve been playing with. It’s a compact size and pretty light. No issues so far.
Really appreciate the information you share with us. In today's world, it's hard to navigate the battery market. YOU make that a LOT easier for us. Thanks for that.
I just bought one for my small 450 watt panel solar system. I don't need a low temp. cutoff since i live in Jamaica. Thanks for the review which helped me choose which battery to buy. Edit Aug 29 2024: They are on sale on Amazon for $190 recently. I am running 5 of them in parallel now. I will soon upgrade from a 12v system to either a 24 or 48v system.
I know you’ve probably answered this a lot 😂. What caused my trolling motor cabalas battery swell? I recently found your channel. I’ll be watching more! I’m glad someone is telling us what battery are good and what there doing!
Love to see you doing trolling motor batteries. I’m trying to make sure I get a decent battery for my kayak. Also have you considered making a short circuit tester with a switch so you don’t have to pop that clamp on?
After that impressive spark on the short circuit test the proof would be if it started to charge again to full capacity without damage. Did you test that?
I’d definitely be interested in seeing you tear down and review the 50ah battery from Power Queen. Their website says the 50ah is not rated for trolling motor applications. I’m curious as to why.
BMS will cook, in and out current not able to handle , thats what i been saying, its built cheap and wont last , theres NO BMS in a sla or lead , so you will win longer lifespan no matter what they say or write
Thank you so much for the awesome videos! It provided a lot more information for the consumers. The Power Queen battery looks identical to the Ampere Time and Chins 50Ah batteries. These 50Ah batteries weigh only around 10-12 lbs. It would be interesting to see if they are the same inside. BTW, the Ampere Time 50Ah has been reviewed by another UA-camr: In addition, would it be possible for you to review other popular 50ah batteries? The Redodo (Previous branded Zooms branded) 50Ah or the Dakoda 54Ah battery. The Redodo battery looks identical to the Dakoda 54Ah battery and they both weigh about 16-18 lbs. I wonder did the Redodo 50Ah or the Dakoda 54Ah use a larger but recycled and degraded core, so they are that much heavier.
Great videos - thank you very much. If you were going to rig your own boat, would you go with these or the Enjoybots? 2x12v 50Ah for the 24V trolling motor and 1x12V 100Ah for the house power?
My finger has been hovering over the "buy" button on one of these for weeks. I was concerned about the quality. Your video really helped alleviate my concerns.
I was hoping you would start tearing apart bigger batteries. I am constantly on the fence about getting a cheaper battery off amazon for my boat trolling motor vice a "USA" company such as battleborn, ionic, impulse, amped etc. I am still on the fence as I need to weight the cost benefit of a USA company's warranty etc or do I just save $200 a battery lol
Wow. What are the odds. I was just looking at buying one of these an hour ago and then this popped up. Haven't watched the video yet so I guess we will see. Really appreciate your content!
Just picked a few of these up based on your review for a campervan setup. They are running a sale now for 15% off.. $281 for this battery on ebay. Amazing price and one of the cheapest I've seen ever for this size in any brand. The BMS on this one looks identical to the Weize battery from another reviewer with low temp cutoff.. I wonder if we can just solder an additional thermistor on the board.. 🤔 If so this would be the greatest deal ever
Some on "the" major retailer starting with A are now down to 260 bucks for 100ah LiFeP04. I want to try to run my little soft start 5000 BTU air conditoner from solar with one on sunny days. I have a 300ah but plan to get one of the smaller ones when they have a great sale for a bit of extra backup to avoid draining and over using my big one. Trying to prepare for future power outages like hurricanes and our government disaster on a fixed income. Got two more months of partial starvation before I can maybe start using my big one from solar. Every time I think it`s about to be finished I discover I need another expensive part or more cables or I bought the wrong part. So frustrating. I just want emergency power and savings on my air conditioning bill so I can eat real food again.
I was looking at ADCBattery in the 100AH for a trolling motor, gosh there’s so many different brands now. I’m holding out for awhile as I just purchased a new lead acid last year.. But excited you’re dipping into the bigger batteries! Solid work thank you!
you made the LeadAcid right decision the first time , these batteries are like bms failure traps. hey we know lead acid is old technology but no bms to fail , that right there solves the equation
i just ordrered it, amazon actually had a 5% discount as well .. so 376.90 shipped after tax .. i have another 100ah lifepo4 but it started putting out 13.8v .. and my trolling motor aint happy about it ... but the trolling motor works fine with a marine battery at 12.4v ..
Still waiting to see a battery from dhgate reviewed, I bought a 12 volt 100 amp hour battery from them I don't know what's inside seems to work great though ! Battery case was all black one little sticker lifepo4 110 ah ion !
So you’re saying if I have this battery on my boat and it gets below 32° I should remove this battery from my boat to charge it inside the house or garage?
I have 2 of these I use for car audio. They have been amazing. I have a question tho. I built a 64ah headway lithium bank. Do u know if I can run the 2 power queen 100ah batteries and the 64ah headway together?? Please let me know
I’m so glad I found your Channel. I purchased my fist battery June 2021 a Amped outdoors 60Ah and it works great for my kayak trolling motor. Thanks for your recommendations on this battery👍 I just purchased the ADCBATT 16Ah last week for my fishfinder. I’m looking for a extra battery for trolling motor and trying to decide between the Power queen 50Ah for $199 or the Weize 50Ah for $249. Please let me know what you would recommend the best one ?

Jeremy, another great review. I have a question regarding wire gauge. I am building a DIY Power Box, to be used here at home if I am out and there is a power outage. My question is I have a 30a Solar Charge Controller, using a rebel 12v 12ah battery from your recommendations.

Do I need to run 12 awg to every component, e.g. LED lights, Rocker switches, 12v cig plugs, banana jacks, etc.? Thanks in advance.
A 30 Amp charger is a bit much for that battery. I wouldn't go over 3 amps or so. In my power box video I use 18AWG. and fuse it all for 10 Amps. But Im just powering fish finders and ice fishing shack lights. What all do you plan on powering with your box?
