Get your Li Time 12V 100Ah Lithium Marine trolling motor battery here: shrsl.com/4l8zs
Cons
Looks cheap
Giant Group 31 Size (but now there is a smaller Group 24 size)
I haven't cycled it enough to know if the 4,000 cycles claim is true... that would take years of using it every day
Pros
Ridiculously Lightweight
Long-lasting
The Battery Management System (BMS) helps protect it from the elements
Half the price of other Lithium-Ion Batteries (Dakota Lithium Batteries are supposed to last twice as long, though)
Would I buy this battery?
Yes, though, I would go with the Group 24 Size for kayak fishing to save some room at a similar price.

i just got one for my tracker.been out 5 trips 6-8 hrs steadily on the trolling motor.havent had to charge it yet.very happy so far.i had to make a different tray for it though it's a bit larger than a lead
Glad to hear it! I would agree it's a bit bigger but I think it's worth it in the end
Can now get 100Ah in mini form factor (smaller than group 24) under 20 lbs.
Yup! The perfect size for kayaks!
I’ve got the same battery picked it up used for $100 I’ve been impressed with it so far especially coming from lead acid it’s been great. I’ve also got the xi3 I’d definitely swap your trolling motor plug to the marinco 70amp plug. It’s really heavy duty and way better connection. Your rear plug going to your battery should be fine but I went with Anderson plugs at the battery for reassurance. Probably $50 in upgrades in plugs and take about 20 minutes to swap out but we’ll worth the peace of mind.
Nice! Thanks for the recommendation!
Same price, i got other brand temgot, more function with LCD screen and app monitoring. So far, so good to use.
Awesome! I’m currently testing another brand with an LCD screen in the same price range and I like it but it’s A LOT heavier
I got a 30ah for my lights and FF 100ah for my 3xi and a 60ah for a spare, I realy don;t want run out of juice in the ocean. I should be good for acouple days. And these 3 batterys weight 36lbs. Thanks Bud.
Heck yeah, you should have power for days!
Try the Li Time Mini..... 12v 100amp.... I cant speak for anyone else, but mine is amazingly powerful and deep celled. have larger fishing kayak, kaku zulu, minn koda ix3, have two battery guages mounted to check my power from time to time. have gone as far as 8 miles over a day of fishing at normal speeds, stops and starts, and have yet to come home at less than 80% battery power left. very small, i think it weighs like 17-19# Give it a try on your channel, I think you will like it as I do. JMO im new to your channel, but, enjoying what I see so far.
not sure if you have done a video on it or not, but videos on different typed of kayak T rail rod holder bottoms and one on rod holders them selves would be a good one. especially if used as a bait rod holder for catching cat fish or bottom feeding type fish.
Thanks for what your doing to help educate us fellow fisherman
Thanks for the recommendation! It came out shortly after I ordered this battery but I think you’re right it would definitely be the better option for kayak anglers since it’s smaller but still powerful enough to last multiple days
I have the Miller tec lithium battery it has the Bluetooth app. You can see how much of a charge you have so you know when it is low and needs charged
I tested a GoldenMate battery with a similar app and love that! I wish more batteries offered it.
I got the 200 Ah for my bigger 12 ft yak, had the Litime battery less than 10 months it died, I like it at first for the price and weight but
I never knew other people had experience with it dying. I ended up sending it back to them since it has 5 year warranty but I will never
buy it again, you get what you pay for and it caused a lot of headaches. My blue top AGM batteries I replaced had over 3 years had no issues,
glad I can still use them as back up. I wish I knew more about the failures of these batteries before I bought them. It is similar to the Creality
3D printer I bought that I ended up spending more money to upgrade plus all the headaches that came with it when I could have spent another
300 hundred dollars and got a better printer that did not fail so much. Both of these are Chinese companies and the product is made there. I would rather pay more now than have to deal with the frustrations of going budget, my advice to any future buyers.
Thanks for the input! I hate to hear that! So far the battery has lasted for me but that was a risk I thought about since they are so much cheaper…
99% of lithium batteries come from China. Very very few batteries actually made in N America or Europe.
There’s only two components in a lithium battery like this
-prismatic cells (I think your 200Ah has 8 3.2V 100Ah cells in a 4S2P)
-A BMS which is just a PCB that uses mosfets to switch the charge/discharge current off if there’s a problem and some resistors that drain energy from the high cells when near the top of the charge to let lower cells catch up (unless the cells are perfectly matched which isn’t going to happen unless you pay top dollar for REAL Grade A EV cells that someone has tested capacity/IR and then matched them up)
99.9% of the time it’s going to be a wiring issue or a BMS issue. You can replace a BMS for about $40 and the wiring would be mostly plug and play unless the main negative lead is soldered to the BMS instead of secured by a bolt through the ring terminal/lug
LiTime/Redodo/PowerQueen (all the same company) are known as pretty much the #1 budget brand so if I had to guess I’d say you had a wiring problem. It’s a shame they make you destroy the enclosure to get the lid off
With the high end battery you might get actual customer service if you have a problem.
They make them in group 24 size, way better fit for kayaks and rv,s
Question! Did you notice your trolling motor getting hot when running at full speed? My son thinks this battery killed his motor? Thanks
I didn’t but I also wasn’t feeling it… I use a remote to control it and I installed a circuit breaker to prevent surges!
You definitely want the right wire size and a fuse or circuit breaker to protect your trolling motor 👍
What kind of charger would I need
A lithium-ion battery charger. There are some on the market that allow you to change charging modes for different types of batteries, just ensure that it's made for lithium-ion batteries!
Can I use a 12.8v to my 12v trolling motor? Is going to be safe?
Yes, it is safe to use. I still recommend using a fuse or 50A/60A breaker to help protect your trolling motor from surges.
Is the length exactly 13 inches or a little shorter?
Technically it's 12 and 15/16
Did it come with a charger?
No, it did not…
Would be awesome if this had Bluetooth monitoring
I agree! You might consider the Goldenmate Orion since it has Bluetooth monitoring - czcams.com/video/JTzgWFkmfSc/video.htmlsi=YX7_v5tfgTXAtxs-
They have a Bluetooth one now
Get the LiTime 100ah mini if you want a smaller size.
Yup that’s what I’d do too!
OK do y'all think it will last as long as the bigger one will
@@JamesWhite-tg4kw It's supposed to because it's still a 100ah battery
👎 I have 3 litime Batteries. One just failed after a year. Little use. Disappointing!
Dang it man… I’m hoping that’s not the case with this one… I plan on making another video after I’ve used it for 2 years to see how it’s held up.
Doesn't it have a warranty?
How did you charge it. I've read to keep them partially charged for storage and fully charge them to use them. And with a lithium charger. I haven't bought one yet I'm looking into getting 2 for my 24 V trolling motor. Thanks for all your help
bummer. I have a pair of the 12v 100ah Amperetime (before they rebranded) batteries. They are still going strong after two years of hard use. Fished 11 hours for trout in heavy current yesterday and they were still going strong at the end.
@@Etec86 Do you have them in series to make 24 V or parallel to have more 12 V storage. I'm wondering about how I need to charge both of my batteries that make 24 V. whether to use just a 24V charger or a 2 bank 12 V charger
Li is pronounced lithium.
Yup
No Customer service
That’s good to know I hadn’t dealt with their customer service, yet.
It IS cheap. And be careful 🧨. Cheap Chinese lithium are dangerous
Nearly ALL of them are Chinese.
Do your research. Different types of lithium batteries. These are Lifepo4. They also have alot of safety features to protect the battery.
You do realize high end brand name lithium are made in China, might even just be rebranded.
There isn't a single lithium battery that's made in the USA. Everything is made by my people.
Why don't you just admit that you don't know anything about batteries? It would be way faster
What type of kayak did you use in this video? Kayak 🛶
