Livescope Battery

I'm just installing livescope on my boat and have a question or two about the battery and charger. From what i've seen on line, the Amped outdoors batteries seem to be a popular brand. I was looking to go to the 48ah battery but wasn't sure which charger should i get? 3 amp or 10 amp? Does it matter?

Also, if i went with another brand like Dakota or Ionics, can i use a regular trickle charger to charge the battery with? They have chargers on the ionics website but they are much more expensive.

Any advise is greatly appreciated. Tight lines all. Thanks, hvychev77

The charger has to be able to charge lithium batteries. From what I have read most manufacturers void the warranty unless there chargers are used.

That makes sense. Thanks for the replies. I was looking at the ionics and the amped outdoors. The amped outdoors battery charger is much cheaper than the ionics brand. Not sure if there's much of a difference between them or not?

I have the Amped 48AH battery for my livescope set up! I went with the 10AH charger because I wanted to be able to get my battery recharged as quick as possible. If you go the Amped route, you will be very happy with it, I am!

Good luck on your decision.

I have ionic 50Ah and i use noco charger with lithium mode, they said it was okay so that is what I got as i also wanted to put my starting battery on it.

5A charger will charge your battery from completely dead in roughly 10 hours, and a 10A will be half the time. For most people, 5A will be plenty as you can plug it in overnight.

Make sure you get a battery with Bluetooth so you can monitor the level and charge status with your phone. You dont want to be guessing how much battery you have or how long until it's charged.

Definately has to be a charger capable of charging Lithiums. They charge higher at 14+ volts.

I'm not seeing that. Can you share the exact link for it? Thank you sir.

Amped batterys are great....For the 48 ah I would get the 10 amp.

Informative information in this thread. Thanks to all for sharing.

I use an Interstate AGM 35AH battery for a handicap scooter. Works quite well if you’re not out all day long. Charging is done with a Battery Tinder charger that you’d use on a motorcycle or something similar.

I have a Noco Genius 10 charger for my Impulse Lithium's. Works great and easy to program. Just select battery type and turn it on.

There's nothing in my warranty requiring use of their charger. As others have said, be sure the charger is correct for your battery.

Give Bill or Darlene a call at Impulse Lithium if you're in doubt. They know their stuff and respond quickly.
