Good product overview. Have you tried their power station? I was thinking about picking it up to run gopros, depth finder and charge my phone.
Really helpful! For those of us who are unlucky enough to only go fishing a few times a summer, this was really helpful
Great info. Thanks for posting.
Dakota Lithium just came out with a 170ah capacity battery which weights at 43 pounds.
Great honest comparison.
I have one that I use on my Lowrance elite 9ti2. Lasted a 8 hr trip with no problems. Great battery
I agree. I wouldn’t buy it for the weight. Great video. Eventually I’ll get a lithium battery.
Great info...thanks.
Thanks for the great info. Im gonna go for the dakota batteries. Also do You know any good fishing spot in or near lodi.
All weight matters you may not paddle 8-10hrs in hot weather against the wind but maximum weight saving is more crucial in a yak vs a boat. So reducing total weight for a kayak that may only have 350lbs max weight is also a safety consideration.
Thanks for the great advice
I was wondering is there a solar panel that could charge the lithium battery on a fly-in trip.
Lithium must be expensive in the us compared to ones in Australia, just wondering do you know what voltage I can run my lithium down to thanks mate, I’m new to lithium , thanks mate
I think the biggest problem with the lead acid as u touched on is they drop under required voltage well within the cycle. So you may only be able to use your battery with your fish finder with 50% or above remaining. It seems like a terrible waste and design to me for the purpose but I agree they are cost effective
Not to mention the life of the battery itself is like 4x longer with a lithium. Still cheaper, lighter and much better than the anchor. Weight isn’t all about capacity. It’s also about maneuverability. In and out of the boat and such which makes COMPLETE sense if your carrying it around. No downside to the lithium including cost. Maybe more up front but still cheaper for the long haul.
I found the lithium batteries to be quite expensive so I decided on just a cheaper AGM battery to power my depth finder. Then I noticed people are using their electric drill batteries to power their depth finders! Mine are 6AH -18v batteries (Milwaukee M18) and my depth finder can be powered by anywhere from 10 to 20 VDC, so I'm good to go! Just to be on the safe side, I hooked up an 18 to 12 volt converter to my depth finder so I wouldn't have any problems. I see some are running them with the full 18 volts but why take chances and the converter is only $10 or so.
great video!
Weight reduction in a kayak makes a difference the kayak will sit lower in the water with more weight witch will cause more drag so its something to consider also
Hello, just wondering if you or anyone else has used a 12/8ah for a hook2 on a kayak, connected with a solar panel,slow trickle charge ?
You didnt buy any change acquire the dakota power box with the batterie? from what i saw that little guy is pretty sweet little power box.
