Thread: Lithium vs regular deep cycle batteries?

Who wants lithium?. Good read on Lithium and usages of them. I really like the phone app Ionic Lithium battery’s comes with..gives you all kinds of info as you use and charge your battery’s.. Contact DrewTick is his user name on BBC for a discount on the Ionics. Drewcraft_LLC_Home_Page - Drewcraft LLC. I go sometimes 2-3 days of hard fishing before I charge my lithiums.

But...your lithiums May last 10 to 15 yrs if you take care of them. And,,never check water,,have a constant user voltage till u use the amp..not like when you have used 50 % of a wet cell and your dropping voltage as you use the battery up. Charges quicker..less than 1% drop in voltage if you store them during winter,,as you will loose 30% or more when you store wet cells. Prices are dropping on lithiums...here is a dealer I considered. LiFePO4 Batteries 12V Affordable Lithium Battery | Energized Outdoors | Amped Outdoors
way lighter in weight means also less gas burned as you run the big motor. Faster takeoff if that is what your after.

Here’s a good article on Are Lithiums worth the price. Good read. Lithium batteries....worth the price?

Ceavans, that is some great information and I am looking at the 36 volt 50 ah batter for a new Terrova 112.

make sure you research battery chargers for the 36 volt. I think Ionic has one,,,not sure of who else.

If you do your research and are a little handy it is pretty easy to put together your own lithium ..... a LOT cheaper than the drop ins are being sold for. There are TONS of benefits to going lithium. It can be argued even at the high price for the drop in's that they are cheaper over time.
I am going all-in with lithium .... That I make myself for 1/3 to 1/4th the price. just not sure I will do the starting battery til I figure some more things out.

dodgeman I sent you a PM

Cevans, the amped up site has a 36 volt 60 ah battery with charger for $1,299.99
