I remember him saying condensation is the main reason batteries fail. He also mentioned a quality BMS is also important and does name the two he uses. He provides some good information. The cool thing is they repair batteries while you wait

    Stopped watching as soon as the guy said he as using an "inverter" to reduce the trolling motor power bank of 24 volts down to 12 volts for his other electronics. An "inverter" uses D/C input and gives an A/C output. Clearly NOT correct.

    Yea probably meant voltage regulator, got to take Ytube videos with a grain of salt.

    I could understand a YTuber making an error like that, but this was the guy doing the install. Does he not know what he is installing? If he came to me saying he was going to be installing an inverter that would be a hard NO for me......

    I went with the heated Li time batteries for my trolling motor. If they cause my boat burn to the ground or stop working anytime soon I'll update this post. If you can afford Impulse, I'm sure they have good batteries.

    my florida buddy made himself crazy overthinking, as he is wont to do, the whole thing, watching tons of youtube video's and then buying couple chinese batteries that were complete junk and then trying to get hold of anyone during chinese new year which made him crazier. Then he bought local from dealer he knew but they didn't know diddly about the units they were selling and finally got all his money back from both sources.

    Their is a crappie com video of Slab coming to our rescue, lending us a spare Impulse lithium which worked great and when he called spoke directly to OWNER and got his battery solution from them with a nice discount. They are a CDC sponsor and good to know they are there to back up their product.

    Personally I rarely use my TM on my fishing pontoon and just going to get a wally world unit that will take care of my needs. As I mostly prowl the docks and banks when I am ketchn.
