Hi Chris. Nice informative video. Hey i have to replace my batteries in the boat. Ones bad but im going to replace both. Just had the boat two years as you probably know. Not sure why the one gave out already. But my question is can you use these lithium batteries for your main cranking batteries or are the only for trolling motors?
Most lithiums don’t have enough cranking amps for a starting motor, house or trolling motor only pretty much, I’m sure starting lithiums will be coming in the future.
I just bought a 100ah lithium for under 200 on Amazon. It has all the protections, balancing and Bluetooth. Which is about the same as if I bought a regular lead acid deep cycle.
Ok ive watched your videos and i wanted to know what 36v battery that you've tested is best.i have a motor guide 36v trolling motor and i am constantly having issues with the cheap Walmart deep cycle batteries that came with the boat.I only have 16.5 ft boat and know i dont need a 36v trolling motor but it came with the boat.Thank you
@@adrianwhite277 we have four LiTime batteries in our RV and we have the 36v enjoybot battery working on our trolling motor which has been fantastic with the app amzn.to/3YhoWrv
Very informative Chris, l only have a small boat and one battery. Besides starting, l have a fish finder, marine radio and small bilge pump. What do you think about a lithium battery for these basic needs.?..l don't know very much about lithium batteries, hope you can help. Tight lines Captain 🎣 🐟 🇦🇺 🇺🇲
… they work great for a house battery for live wells and instruments. Just can’t use them for starting battery because they do t have enough cranking amps. I’ll do another video going into more detail about the lithiums.
I have heard of 3 people in my area boat burning down because of these batteries… I really want one but that is what has stopped me from buying one yet…
Unless you’ve seen one burn up in person I wouldn’t believe it. We’ve been using these lithium batteries in our boat and RV for years. I’ve never heard of one of these things burning.
@@vjmotano835 Lithium Iron are completely safe, there’s tons of information out there about them. Lithium Ion are the ones that have the bad track record. The only incidences involving Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries are almost always due to operator error and not the battery it self. There are a million articles discussing the safety of these batteries for indoor use. That was an extremely ignorant reply. There always that person that says “i heard about a time when” but I don’t know a single person that has ever had an issue with LiFePO4 batteries.
can you explain how you charge a 36 volt lithium battery (i know you need a charger)but what do you plug the charger into or if i take it home how do i charge it
If I wanted to use just one 36 V lifetime lithium battery for my Minnkota Terova 112 pound 36 V motor which lifetime battery would you use and how many amp hours I would like to just use one 36 V instead of 3 12 V in series
I wouldn’t use them for a motor starting battery, they typically don’t have enough cranking amps. Would make for a great house battery for live-well, and instruments, just would need a 12v to 12v DC lithium charger.
@SaltyStrikes I do have 3 deep cycle batteries now,but want to get lithium.I guess because i already have the 12v noco charger i should get 3 12v lithium batteries instead of 1 36v
Hands down i would go with 3 Mini’s in series. They have a great sale going on right now. Only real difference between the mini and regular size 12v 100ah is price and the mini is smaller.
Perfect! I was on their site and going through reviews and MINI Definitely caught my attention due to weight and space. I will definitely be making the purchase. Thanks to your response!! 🎣
Im going to buy a 36-volt single unit for my boat this year. The 3 interstate batteries are done. They lasted 3 years

Great video Chris very informative thank u
Thanks, duly noted.
Thanks for the info been interested in switching but didn’t due to cost
It’s definitely cheaper in the long run, Amazon has some good Prime Day deals, links in the description area 👍

Nice video Captain! I also like the weight difference between the LA or AGM and Lithium. Tight lines!
Yes thats another great advantage, lead Acid really only has one use in this day and age and thats a starting battery and thats pretty much it.

How does a lithium battery work for a outboard motor battery? Specifically, will it work with the motor charging system?

Did you install your victron system yourself?

Any info on the LITIME mini will it do the job about the same as full size ?

Interested in the batteries but not much info on the MINI. They Would be running a 36v Terrova In Series. Thanks !
@@staybusybuilding2910 pretty much has the same specs
