PowerHouse Lithium - 2022 Phoenix 921 Elite II Set Up

The exact setup I was thinking about! Great video

[@zarman4]

Very interesting setup, anyway you could add a wiring diagram?

[@BassinBuntin]

Good idea Michael. I'll post one ASAP.

Just purchased a 60ah with the run and gun system for my boat!

[@BassinBuntin]

You'll love it.

I pulled the trigger on 2 of the 36v 60 amp batteries. Run n gun setup I’m curious to see how many hours I’ll get with the Garmin force

[@buckywages8465]

Does my run and gun charger suppose to to stay green even when my power is turned off?

[@williambigsby4031]

Very nice setup and great detailed, question my cranking battery is a ionic 125AH and I have two ionic 125AH for my untrex 80lb thrust trolling motor. How should this setup be hooked up so that only the trolling motor batteries would charge while running my 2019 mercury 200 proxs.

[@bradyweinert7616]

Hi, I purchased a run and gun charger for my 36V lithium I purchased from power house. My cranking battery is a AGM battery. When charging off the water I use my minn kota on boarding charger (cannot charge lithium batteries) for my agm cranking and my other AGM. The charger I have for my new power house battery is model BCH3610). With that being said, do I have to turn off the 60 amp breaker that was with the run and gun while using both chargers off that water so the two charging currents don’t interfere with each other or do I leave the 60 amp breaker on? My question is do the two separate ways of charging mess anything up because the gun and run are tied to each battery? Or does the run and gun recognize I’m using two different types of chargers? I’m pretty new to this and don’t want to screw this up. Sorry if this may seem like a dumb question

[@BassinBuntin]

You can just turn the breaker off by pushing the button or leave it both charging will not hurt anything. Just use the run and gun to charge everything without adding the backup charger that is only needed if the run and gun goes out.

[@kennysparks5446]

Is everything still the same today on your charrging system? I have been researching changing to lithiums and my charging system. I noed you kept your minn Kota charger and tied all into the AGM. I did the understand this. Is there a diagram with more details dor me to follow?

[@BassinBuntin]

@@kennysparks5446 Yes, my system is just like I set it up when I made the video.

[@benwroyce24]

I just want to know what position on the Perko that your run and guns are hooked up to as well as your 16v and 12v or output? I have a similar setup that I’m working on this second and trying to determine what position onnthe Perko switch i need to hook up the run and guns. Currently my 16v is on position 1 and my 12v is on position 2. Output just has the positive wire running to my circuit board for my electronics.

[@BassinBuntin]

You can find the wiring diagram on the PowerHouse website. Let me know if you have trouble finding them. Tight lines!

[@brucedavis5404]

I have a question about your single point ground. What is the purpose? I have a aluminum boat if I ground from the single point ground to the hull will I set up electrolysis on the hull ?

[@nathanvoit5235]

Ok Got a question. You have the Minn Kota PCL charger. How would this setup work with a Power Pole Charge?

[@BassinBuntin]

Not sure off hand but I believe the owner of the company runs a Power Pole Charge. He may have a slightly different configuration. I check and let you know.

[@jeremiahnewton8372]

Did you stay with the same battery or go with a lithium on the cranking after they drop the new ones?

[@BassinBuntin]

Jeremy, I'm still running the Insterstate cranking battery. My plan is to go with the Powerhouse cranking batter but honestly just haven't had time to do it yet. Another thing too, I haven't had any issues running the Interstate battery. Thanks for watching!

[@jawsmod]

Ok so I have a question for the electrical engineer….. Why couldn’t you just run a voltage dropper/regulator of the 24-36V trolling motor batteries to get the 16V for your electronics?

[@BassinBuntin]

You could. However, isolating the source ensures I get a nice clean voltage without interference from other equipment connected to that source. It's also more reliable because by using a Perko switch, I can swap from 16V to 12V if I have an issue. If everything is powered from the 24V or 36V source, like you said, then it's a single point of failure.

[@williambigsby4031]

I purchased the run & gun 12v to 36v charger (lithium)
