Condensed story, got sort of a bass pro tournament guy I know wanting to sell me a battery. Cheap he says.
New. Figure he doesn’t have much in it. But beside the point. Look at this please, and tell me - would I be correct to think the battery in the link I posted is NOT LiFeP04 technology?
If I’m understanding this correctly, I would not want it even free… edjumecate me please. Attachment 464954

According to their FAQ ... their batteries ARE Lithium Iron Phosphate : faq
Why they advertise as Lithium Ion .... :dono
Ok thank you. This just came up, and I’m a little limited on how well I can research stuff till I get home to the wifi. We may see how cheap he considers cheap. Looks like the list pricing on these things is sky high.Quote:

I appreciate y’all clearing that part up. Any experience with them? They just seem a little overpriced. But the fellow I mentioned with the battery, he is a high roller, money no object sort.Quote:

Sorry, no JW ... I only have one Lithium battery, a 50ah 12v Eco-Worthy that I bought to run my Livescope setup & a Eco-Worthy charger. I've only used it one time & it ran the LS setup for 6hrs & shut off. It may not have been fully charged, so I planned on charging it up fully and giving it another try .. but, haven't been able to go again since that first time. I paid about $170 for the battery & about $70 for the charger.Quote:

I am considering one for my cranking and electronics to get started. Will probably go with Impulse to support one of our sponsors
Hey Jeff! Here is a battery I learned about from a favorable review by Will Prowse on Youtube. Between my neighbor and I we have bought 3 of these and so far, a year and a half, we have been very satisfied. I run 2 12" Garmin 1222's, 2 black boxes, and a Garmin 934XSV in the dash on this battery. Fished a whole day once, forgot to charge, and fished the whole next day and never had a power issue.

Lots of different battery voltage meters for lithium battery’s you can install to monitor your batteries. Check Amazon.

I have 3 Lithium pro batteries and have nothing but good things to say about them. I would buy again.

Well, finally got my hands on the thing today. It is only a 40 AH. But got a charge on the fly 12 to 36 charger with it. We will see. I’m figuring I need 100+ AH on a long day, but I’m gonna toss it into the mix with my group 31 lead acids that have been going 8 plus. Said take it and try it, let me know. Said bass fisherman is also one who signs my paycheck, so have to be, umm, a little political with this.

Do not parallel that battery with lead acids. It will be constantly discharging trying to charge the lead acids. (It will be at 40v while the lead acids are 37-38v)
Just use the lithium and put the others on a battery bank switch as backup. I bet you dont use the lead acids ever again. I bet your 8 year old 31 lead acids have less available runtime than the 40ah lithium.

Thanks Kevin22.
No Sir, was not going to parallel.Quote:

I’m a little leery of even paralleling it with another lithium of different brand and age. If it turns out useful, will probably go with Anderson connectors and just switch swap between them.

Finally got on the water to try it out.
It was windy enough that I made downwind runs only. But it pushed my barge 1.7 mph, prop speed on 5-6 for 5 1/2 hours. My first experience with running a lithium flat.
Going fine one second, then POOF
Ipilot remote says motor not found the next. But told me what I wanted to know. 40 ah, 5 1/2 hrs, I think I’m pulling around 7 1/2 amps at that speed?
Boss walked through while ago, I asked how much he wanted for it, I liked it. He says buy me some beers sometime. Despite the craziness around here sometimes, I have a boss that’s very good to me.

can't beat that kind of deal.
Yessir. He specified craft beer at the local pub. But I know him, he never slows down long enough to do that. He likes Stella Artois, so I see me picking up and delivering a quantity of that as a thank you down payment.Quote:
