Stu you're one of my favorite channels! I like more of a thinking mans video than all the fluff that's out there! Happy Flashing!
That is a great video Stu, and a clean install
Great job man, hope you get the performance you were looking for!! 👍
Found your channel researching this very thing. Wrapping up building my own hull as well. A great resource on any marine electrical is on the Pacific Yacht Systems CZcams channel. Based around BIG boats but our systems are just miniature versions of those. Good stuff. And Hello from SW MO by the way. Great channel 🤙🏼
Looking forward to seeing how they work out.
Lithium! That's awesome!!!💥💪
Congratulations! Those are bad ass batteries
I have just bought a Dakota L. 24 volt 50 AH. For my Garmin Force trolling motor. Dakota is a great company to deal with. I have not had the chance to get on the water yet but hoping next week
i switched live scope same as you did i will be researching 24 volt or 36 volt for trolling motor. thanks for the video.
Sensacional obrigado por compartilhar seus conhecimentos.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Makes me want to weigh pros & cons and obsticles of installing a small generator to power all the electronics. May not be feasable, but it's overcast and windy outside. Good thing to think about as I have a cold one.
Man, that’s cool!
I switched my 24v trolling motor batteries from AGM to LiFePO4 and now, instead of running out toward the end of a long day, I can go 2 FULL days in-between charging. This is a real advantage when you go somewhere to fish for an entire weekend.
WHAT AH BATTERIES DID YOU GET?
@@raywilliams6098 - Ray, I built two, 12v, 100AH LiFePO4 batteries and run them in series. Now, I'm building a dedicated 24v, 55AH LiFePO4 battery and will be using the others for a different purpose.
@@jasonbroom7147 you built the batteries? That sounds interesting. How did you do it?
@@RjBin-xz2um - I put four, 100ah cells in series, with a Daly BMS, then put that pack in a hard-sided pelican style case.
Can you please explain specifically what your using for your Milwaukee setup
Let’s talk about the milwakee drill batteries? Where do you find that adapter? That’s gonna run your garm?? I need to know more about this. Very interested. The dakota is what’s next though. Sooooo much money though.
Looking forward to see how they work out for you this summer. I use my Terrova to troll on Erie a lot and it sucks when the batteries die and cut your day short. As an engineer, I don't see how a 63 Amp/hour battery is going to last longer than a 110 Amp/hour battery, but I've read reports that say they do. Keep us informed please.
Just because the lead acid is 110 amps, you only get that for a very short time due to the huge voltage curve that is associated with them. Lithium’s have a extremely flat voltage curve which allows for a longer run time and the ability for a lower amp battery to be very comparable to a higher amp lead acid
Lithium batteries are amazing I've been in love with them for years!!! They have a higher charge density & put out more energy. Less cells bc more power so way less resistance. Less heat & can release the stored energy faster. Also hold a charge for alot longer. Less weight & no power drop. Temp extremes don't effect as much either. I think they're worth the money. I've never been disappointed with any lithium battery.
Lithium are 36v 100% power until they are dead. Lead acid are 100%power to start but as the battery looses charge you only have that power to pull from. I’m running lithium for 36v and live scope as well and love it. I chose lithium so can troll cranks all day without a kicker motor
as others have said, the 110 ah of a lead acid is a bit of a farse. The actual usable ah of a 110 lead acid is more like 60 or 70 ah. I have switched over and can confirm for all that a 60 ah lithium phosphate has about the same usable energy as a 100 ah lead acid.
Well it is 36 volt
I just fished 3 events where my lithpros 2x 36 volt did not make it through. I have switched to ionics . The two 36’s are big
Is 36v 50amp single lithium battery strong enough for 6 hours on the water? In calm water, inlets or offshore on reefs ex. Thanks
Smart move
I run 5 heavy ass batteries also , I have been wanting to change over , but I can’t justify the price difference.
What is your opinion on the new set up vs the old lead batteries?
Do you think this was still the right choice and did it make that big of a difference?
Also how much weight did you gain back from the lithium batteries?
Thank you .
So what's the update on the batteries 4 months later was it worth the money and does the trolling motor last all day at full power Thanks
How about a 2 year update how did they hold up or did you have to replace them already?
Wondering if you have any problems with you Milwaukee battery running your live scope and with you Milwaukee 18volt what size??Like you I have a bunch of Milwaukee battery’s for work.
Nicely done. I have a Minn Kota 24 volt trolling motor. I want to buy two Litiium batteries to power it. I will wire them in series (current setup with Loaded cell batteries). The trolling motor powers a 20-foot fishing pontoon boat. I doubt I will ever use the trolling motor.... continually for more than 6 hours in any given day. Usually always short fishing days. Fair weather fishing, not fighting wind. Will two (2) 50aH, Lithium batteries, wired in series be enough for my needs?
How long will your trolling motor run on that 63Ah? Looking at getting an Ionic 36V 50Ah
what type and how many promos did you use on their website?
I'll definitely will be following how this turns out for you because I'm interested in it. I have a question. When you're running lead acid batteries. Why would you wire them up in series to equal 36 volts and run a voltage reducer and not just parallel to give you three batteries at 12 volts? On a side note I think it would be beneficial to look into some solar charging on the boat. I'm thinking like small solar panels that's not in your way as a small trickle charge to keep the batteries going for the day.
Had to have 36 volts for the trolling motor. I’ve not been able to find a panel that will actually benefit me most just charge to slow to even be worthwhile. And you need a synwave charger to keep voltage spikes down while running the electrics
@@totalanglingexperience3493 ok. I didn't catch that your trolling motor was 36 volts. I'd say get creative with small solar panels all around the boat to keep up with the smaller batteries. I think they're an eyesore but I've been pondering on different strategic ways of doing small solar panels. I live in Iowa so our cloud cover is pretty much the same not like it is down in the south but still can be effective in our region. The trick isfiguring out how to make it not an eyesore and out of your way. I'm trying to figure this out myself.
Normal to run about 5 hrs and still have 100%, ran trolling motor the whole time, 36v battery, had a cheap cheap installed just to show %, volts and temp
Are there any issues fishing with lithium in high heat?
Iam thinking of Switching to the 36 V lithium battery for my trolling motor how is it working for you?
Which battery starts your big engine? Can you charge any batteries from your engine.? How long does it take to charge from shore power? How do you monitor how much capacity is in the batteries? Can you start your engine from the 36 volt battery using the voltage reducer?
I just got two 36 volt ionics. They are huge
👍
I live my life 1 Volt at a time.
I think i am getting that same set up in my Ranger Z520, of course i am not installing them, they will have to do some work taking out the old quad charger and 4 worthless batteries, hope the big battery fits well, i will be asking those questions with the boat shop, your boat is custom but is there a normal plug to charge the batteries like i had on my quad Ranger Charger? Heard they can't be charged in cold, what is cold below 20, 40? Its only around 50 as the high in spring and fall, the boat however is always in a garage, can't imagine having a 100k boat outside, what are people thinking? Well i know money means nothing to them. I was told these batteries 1600 for 36v and think 600 for the starter both come with a charger. Never heard that one before, battery coming with a charger. Dakota is the brand. I just want batteries that last longer then only 4yrs, and really last month or so of that was running very poor, having my Minn Kota at 50% all the time, needing to put it at 100 to get the same speed after 6hrs means those batteries are done. Minn Kota Fortex 101 is what is going to be running on that 36v. Twin Talons, and Helix units, along with 250 Merc running on the cranking battery. This is the first upgrade, then trolling motor will be the following year when Minn Kota unleashes its newest model. Which i haven't heard nothing about it, so may have been scratched. Ultrex will then be my motor with 360 transducer. Hate changing from my Fortex to another one, its all i have ever used, the Maxxum, 2 of them in previous boats then this Fortex for the last 9 yrs, flat out beast dominating the competition. Had a motorguide, it got stuck in weeds, yeah weedless trolling motor stuck in weeds, donated that pos to a poor person at the ramp say this can be your anchor, it is trash. Never has Minn Kota ever got stuck, even when its buried in weeds in a ft or less of water, its a beast and with inferior batteries i cant wait till its running on 36v. How often are you charging these? I hear they can go for days, i can't imaging doing that, i would charge as i always would after ever trip, unless i do see they don't need to be like other guys say 8hrs of being on the trolling motor still 80% charged i say what? Mine are 80% dead.
Great video Stu, do you have your black box and your head unit on the same Milwaukee battery??
I got three 12 volt Dakota batteries three months ago. They advertise an 11 year warranty. One of them would not take a charge. The company does not ever answer their phone and they do not respond to emails. That seems to be the case for a lot of reviews on Amazon. So it looks like I'm out three hundred dollars for nothing. I guess that is par for the course these days.
"I'm a cheap ass" proceeds to show about 2k worth of battery's that's worth more than my whole jon boat.... 😂
Get the LEAD out....haha
Batteries next to the gas tank? Holy shit you got some balls.
HELL YEAH BROTHER!!! NEVERSTART aka EVERSTART SUCKS!
I like him im sold lol I'm a cheap ass so thats why 😆 RS ..
63AH WONT RUN ALL DAY ON TROLLING MOTOR
Nothing wrong with being a “Cheap Ass”!
Your set up is so damn confusing
