I have a Amped Outdoor 30Ah battery since 2020 and never had any problems.
I never really saw the need to until my lead battery would only last 5-6 hours and would be barely getting by on 11.2-11.3 volts
so I bought an impulse lithium!
and am very satisfied with it ! Great service nice folks was on my door step within 2 days
I have 2x10” and a12” garmin plus live scope and have yet saw it under 13 volts longest day out so far has been right at 8 hours.
Have read horror stories about leaving them charging while real cold but I left the charger plugged up and batteries charging when in got down 3 and no issues at all! Did read where the impulse was good down to -4 !
peace of mind and 10 year warranty definitely will replace the rest of my lead batteries as they go out with impulse.:twocents

So what size battery are you running? I will be running one 9 and two 10 plus livescope and was thinking about a 60AH.

Amped outdoors has been good for me. Their customer service replaced a broken charger. I have two 19ah batteries that I run in parallel in big boat and single in the kayak setup.

Amped have been good to me
I went with the 100 amp !
just because I find my self staying on the water from dust to dawn sometimes just fooling around so I wanted to have plenty for those 12-13 hours days .
I used an Amped 30AH for several years until I added another livescope to the front. I bought the no name lithium 100AH a year ago and have not had any problems with it yet.
I've personally never really understood the craze behind everyone buying these high priced lithium ion batteries? I'm just speaking from my personal experience and may eat my words. I run 4-29 series everstarts from walmart. 2 for the trolling motor, 1 for the cranking battery, 1 for livescope black box, garmin 106 sv and garmin 93 sv. I've fished (longlined) many days from daylight to dark with the livescope on all day and never had any battery issues? Hope my good luck continues. Trying to understand the true benefit to have the lithium ion?
What I see mostly is less weight, longer warranty, and in some cases a Bluetooth connection to keep track of charge level (on the water).Quote:

I chose an off brand that cost me about 1/2 of what a brand name battery does.
I live in an apt complex and have to bring batteries & equipment into & out of my upstairs apt, so weight is the dominant factor for me. At my age and condition, humping a couple of 30-45lb batteries down the stairs & out to the truck, then back up the stairs when I get home, is getting to be a task.
I understand that! Good point
I run a 60 aH Amped battery up front with a 1222, lvl 34, and a Helix 9. I can run for multiple days on that battery. To me the most impressive part of the Lithium is it puts out full voltage right to the end. no hard drop the last 30 percent of its charge cycle. They are definatly lighter and smaller too. Only downfall to Amp is they do not have bluetooth.
Consistent and higher voltage are big advantages over lead acid batteries. I run a Amped 48AH for my LS system and 1222 screen. Starts at 16.3 volts and can run all day and never get below 14 volts. Lead acid won't even charge to 14 volts ! Most electronics cut off or have problems if the voltage drops below 11.3 volts. The BMS (battery management system) protects a lithium battery against overcharging and low voltage also. They weigh 1/2 of a lead battery too. Are they worth the cost? I think so.Quote:

Now I can fish 6-8hrs without a issue. From what I read these units want clean power, so a single source battery close to the black box is the best set up. Also I read so much about how much voltage a Livescope system should run on, I called Garmin to ask, they said they run best at 11.7 volts. I just bought a new to me boat and will rig it with the Dewalt batteries.
I just got a 20ah Amped battery to run my livescope. My boat is only 14ft so weight is a huge factor. I park my boat outside so I bring my electronics and battery inside when not in use. My Amp battery weighs 4lbs while a deep cycle battery weighs 45lbs. The lithium battery cost around $35 more than the deep cycle which makes cost a non-factor for me. Buy chance a buddy of mines sold me a 18ah Amped battery for $50. It has only been charged 3 times before he sold his kayak. Due to cost I doubt I buy a big lithium battery to run my trolling motor but they are the cats meow to run your electronics.
I been using a Amped Outdoors 32 AH battery since 2020 . No problems to run my black box and 1243xsv all day. Would buy again .Quote:

Does anyone run Dakota or Ionic batteries? It looks like they are all about the same price except the cost of the battery charger are much higher on some.

I use and we sell ionic at the shop I work at, great batteries.On the amped outdoors we have saw lots of failures on the larger batteries,but the smaller are ok.Quote:

Does anyone know why Amped Outdoor batteries have to be removed from your boat and charged inside?

Could have something to do with the fact that Amped Outdoors batteries are Lithium ION batteries (like the EV batteries), and not Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries.Quote:

Thanks for the info Pappy, I think Ill go in another direction. I dont like the idea of removing batteries every trip if I dont have to.

Ionics has been awesome for me. I run a 100 amp for cranking and accessories. 2-50 amps for my terrova. Troll and livescope, never been below 50 percent. The Bluetooth is great.

Sorry Impulse I didnt see your message before I had ordered a Li Time battery. Reviews look good so I thought I would give it a try. Price was very good.

When you run a pair of drill batteries and a pair of adapters you could just buy a Amped Outdoors 32AH with charger for less money and more AH. I run black box and 12'' screen all day with single battery. Rigged mine up in a plastic ammo box with quick connects for unit or the charger making it easy .Quote:
