    Default Lithium vs regular deep cycle batteries?


    Going to put Terrova on my 22 foot pontoon. Either 80 or the 112 pound thrust. Anyone running these and with the 112 will it pull for 8 hours or so on 3 batteries deep cycle batteries?

    And is anyone running the lithium batteries? Been doing a little research and have more questions than answers.

    Thanks for any help or advice.

    I’d suggest going to bassboatcentral look around and should find a lot of info on them or try walleyecentral for same info. I know both use them bass guys more so but should have plenty info on them. But the walley guys use them as hard as we do.

    I think we will all be using lithium’s, in about 10 years!
    ROI doesn’t work out currently, at least for me.

    I was thinking of running 4 batteries with the Terrova 80, and then add an onboard charger for all 4, what is that going to cost if I buy good regular batteries?

    pick your spots and troll down wind, you'll need a couple of drift socks to slow you down and the terrova mainly steers. LOL Pulling upwind 4 batteries would be needed for a full day.
    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
    The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and one that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

    Cool, we have been pulling with 4 stroke 90 hp motor and catch a lot of fish, but 2 mph is about as slow as it will go.

    3-3 1/2 is as low as I can get with my 115 Yamaha 4 stroke. My nephew has a trolling plate on his but he just bought a 112 trerrova like mine.

    I am leaning toward the 112. We have a happy troller on our 90.

    Throw your rod holders in the front of boat. throw one small drift sock off the front of your boat and troll with big motor in reverse. its easy to steer. and can get your trolling speed way down. And the drift sock keeps the boat from swaying side to side. Really made things simple with my party barge.

    Most lithium batteries have a 10 year warranty with over 4000 cycles. If you fish 200 days a year they are worth it
