    Default Rapala filet knife


    Hooked mine up to my lifepo4 battery showing 13.25 volts. Nothing ! Hooked up to my 12 volt sla feeder battery....works. Repeat with lithium...still no workee. Sla shows 12.4 volts. Lithium runs my livescope but notice. Wassup?
    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.

    The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang and

    Hate to be the only one to reply to my own post but.... I figure the BMS in the lifepo4 battery doesn't recognize the motor in the knife.

    12V should be 12V. Doesn't make sense to me unless you might have hooked it up backwards.
    Tell'em I'll be there.

    Nope. Would have thought as long as voltage was same it'd work. The lithium had more voltage than sla.only thing I can figure is the lithium has a bms to control it.

    Isn't the BMS to protect the battery from in coming, or does it work both ways?

    I have no idea but it will run my livescope but the knife acts like it's not hooked up. Just like to know why.
