Can this be use as a car audio secondary battery?

[@jhamtha1]

@@deliduncan5405 I use them for car audio. 6months in I have nothing bad to say about them. They work great for my system. I have 2 100ah power queens. I'm pushing a jp63 like 7000 watts RMS. And they hold at 14.3v

I love you do small and large batteries unlike other KZbinrs. I'd like to see a 24V Lipo4 battery teardown from you because I don't think I've ever seen one.

[@sboy1955]

I’m running the 190ah version in my RV… have boondocked 4 days straight with it along with several 2 and 3 day sessions - running fans, lights, fridge, and various small electronics vis an inverter.. worked like a champ with a single 200 amp solar panel feeding it.

Come back Ice Hole! Need a breakdown on the Li Time 100ah Trolling Motor battery.

[@Theedgecrusher93]

I bought the 50 ah version about a month ago to supplement my solar stuff I’ve been playing with. It’s a compact size and pretty light. No issues so far.

[@lengmoua6073]

Yes. Def would like to see the 50ah teardown. Nice work too btw. Love the vids

[@lawrencedavidson6195]

I just bought one for my small 450 watt panel solar system. I don't need a low temp. cutoff since i live in Jamaica. Thanks for the review which helped me choose which battery to buy. Edit Aug 29 2024: They are on sale on Amazon for $190 recently. I am running 5 of them in parallel now. I will soon upgrade from a 12v system to either a 24 or 48v system.

[@lyfandeth]

Why the big foam blocks, big case, empty space?

[@AgWhatsUp]

Thinking of picking this battery up for an off grid solar system. This video really helped with my decision. Thank you!

[@raulsuazo5015]

I have that same battery. So far no issues

[@dennislewis7602]

I know you’ve probably answered this a lot 😂. What caused my trolling motor cabalas battery swell? I recently found your channel. I’ll be watching more! I’m glad someone is telling us what battery are good and what there doing!

[@riffsandwich9541]

Love to see you doing trolling motor batteries. I’m trying to make sure I get a decent battery for my kayak. Also have you considered making a short circuit tester with a switch so you don’t have to pop that clamp on?

[@iceholepower8012]

I should probably do that lol

[@brandonn4790]

Wow. What are the odds. I was just looking at buying one of these an hour ago and then this popped up. Haven't watched the video yet so I guess we will see. Really appreciate your content!

Super cool! I like it.

[@travisjacobson7126]

I was looking at ADCBattery in the 100AH for a trolling motor, gosh there’s so many different brands now. I’m holding out for awhile as I just purchased a new lead acid last year.. But excited you’re dipping into the bigger batteries! Solid work thank you!

[@iceholepower8012]

I have a 100Ah ADC battery on the charger now!

[@kingdommusic5456]

you made the LeadAcid right decision the first time , these batteries are like bms failure traps. hey we know lead acid is old technology but no bms to fail , that right there solves the equation

[@czhou57]

Just picked a few of these up based on your review for a campervan setup. They are running a sale now for 15% off.. $281 for this battery on ebay. Amazing price and one of the cheapest I've seen ever for this size in any brand. The BMS on this one looks identical to the Weize battery from another reviewer with low temp cutoff.. I wonder if we can just solder an additional thermistor on the board.. 🤔 If so this would be the greatest deal ever

[@baneverything5580]

Some on "the" major retailer starting with A are now down to 260 bucks for 100ah LiFeP04. I want to try to run my little soft start 5000 BTU air conditoner from solar with one on sunny days. I have a 300ah but plan to get one of the smaller ones when they have a great sale for a bit of extra backup to avoid draining and over using my big one. Trying to prepare for future power outages like hurricanes and our government disaster on a fixed income. Got two more months of partial starvation before I can maybe start using my big one from solar. Every time I think it`s about to be finished I discover I need another expensive part or more cables or I bought the wrong part. So frustrating. I just want emergency power and savings on my air conditioning bill so I can eat real food again.

[@genekind6099]

I’d definitely be interested in seeing you tear down and review the 50ah battery from Power Queen. Their website says the 50ah is not rated for trolling motor applications. I’m curious as to why.

[@kingdommusic5456]

BMS will cook, in and out current not able to handle , thats what i been saying, its built cheap and wont last , theres NO BMS in a sla or lead , so you will win longer lifespan no matter what they say or write

i just ordrered it, amazon actually had a 5% discount as well .. so 376.90 shipped after tax .. i have another 100ah lifepo4 but it started putting out 13.8v .. and my trolling motor aint happy about it ... but the trolling motor works fine with a marine battery at 12.4v ..

Hi, great video, any idea what brand & model the BMS is?

[@tomearly111]

It's very interesting since you can almost get 2 for the price of one Dakota or Amped battery of the same size.

Another good one. Love to see you cracking open some bigger batteries.

[@iceholepower8012]

You and me both!

[@yueqihu]

Thank you so much for the awesome videos! It provided a lot more information for the consumers. The Power Queen battery looks identical to the Ampere Time and Chins 50Ah batteries. These 50Ah batteries weigh only around 10-12 lbs. It would be interesting to see if they are the same inside. BTW, the Ampere Time 50Ah has been reviewed by another KZbinr: In addition, would it be possible for you to review other popular 50ah batteries? The Redodo (Previous branded Zooms branded) 50Ah or the Dakoda 54Ah battery. The Redodo battery looks identical to the Dakoda 54Ah battery and they both weigh about 16-18 lbs. I wonder did the Redodo 50Ah or the Dakoda 54Ah use a larger but recycled and degraded core, so they are that much heavier.

[@MrWhiltetail]

Would love to see the 50Ah torn down.

[@freerange]

Nice test

[@paulprice9953]

Great videos - thank you very much. If you were going to rig your own boat, would you go with these or the Enjoybots? 2x12v 50Ah for the 24V trolling motor and 1x12V 100Ah for the house power?

I’m looking for a extra battery for trolling motor and trying to decide between the Power queen 50Ah for $199 or the Weize 50Ah for $249. Please let me know what you would recommend the best one ? Thanks for all your recommendations and help 👍

[@iceholepower8012]

I have not tore either down, but I would say Power Queen just because of how their 100Ah looked

Yes it did, sorry I should of put a voltmeter on it after the test. That battery is now on a viewer's kayak to run his trolling motor.

Jeremy, another great review. I have a question regarding wire gauge. I am building a DIY Power Box, to be used here at home if I am out and there is a power outage. My question is I have a 30a Solar Charge Controller, using a rebel 12v 12ah battery from your recommendations. I am running 12 awg stranded wire from the controller to the battery terminals and to the + and - of the main switch. Do I need to run 12 awg to every component, e.g. LED lights, Rocker switches, 12v cig plugs, banana jacks, etc.? Thanks in advance.

[@iceholepower8012]

A 30 Amp charger is a bit much for that battery. I wouldn't go over 3 amps or so. In my power box video I use 18AWG. and fuse it all for 10 Amps. But Im just powering fish finders and ice fishing shack lights. What all do you plan on powering with your box?
