Thread: Lithium 100AH WOW!

I was using 2 9ah Milwaukee tool batteries. One of batteries played out. So I was about to get a new one. Been thinking about lithium for some time. So I found one I liked at Amazon. I got a 100Ah battery and charger. All I can say is WOW!. I was planning on just running the livescope and the fish finder on the 100AH battery. My extra heavy trolling motor battery played out. So I was going to have to buy a new battery. Id already spent my budget for trailer tires 2#. A big tire for my truck. A 12' and a 16' jig rods. Also I had purchased the new lithium battery battery box and charger. So I didn't really have the bucks to buy a new battery. I decided to connect my Terrova trolling motor the the 100ah lithium battery. All I can say is wow! The lithium easily handles the livescope, Echomap and the Terrova all day with plenty of to spare. After a day fishing the battery still has 13 volts. It's also a lot easier charging it instead of having to charge 2 Milwaukee batteries. The Milwaukee chargers slow they also don't last very long. I love my new lithium battery. Wish I had gone that route to begin with.
Lithium batteries were more expensive back then. Live and learn.

could one put a surge protector between the battery and the electronics?
