    Default Anybody use a power management unit?


    I recently had a charger cord get unplugged and didn’t charge my electronics lithium battery for who knows how long. I lost power 1/2 way thru a guide trip and had to crawl my big butt back to the transom battery storage then rewire to get power. I don’t care a thing about doing that on a regular basis.
    A client mentioned a power management system that would prevent that plus charge my batteries when my big engine is running.
    Anybody know of such a system?

    Check out an item called stay in charge. I had a charging system from them before I got my Lund.

    NEVERMIND. ITS THE SAME UNIT AS BUCKEYECRAPPIE POSTED.

    With a 36v100a Skinny Water Marine lithium for my trolling motor, a good set of jumper cables sounds better than $1500.

    Thanks for the ideas.

    You could always wire it so you can just use a switch to switch between the two - instead of the jumper cables. Or maybe an easy to read voltmeter to ensure you 36V Lithium is charging / was charging? Just a couple thoughts. But agree with you, jumper cables are way cheaper than another $1,500 in the boat!!

    Need a big lithium starting battery and it will run your electronics too with just one battery.If you run your big motor any it will also put charge in it when on the water.I check my lithiums with the app on my phone before leaving the house also so i know im good to go.
