The BEST LITHIUM BATTERIES for BOATS!! (Ionic Battery Update)

[@eliteangler]

I just took the plunge and bought a 36V 50aH for my Ultrex. We'll see how it performs. Great video man!

[@pdfishing5625]

Ayee. Good choice!!

[@lsufan861]

How is it performing? I've got a 22ft CC robalo and wonder how one 36V 50ah will last in wind and current.

[@eliteangler]

@@lsufan861 I haven't installed it yet. Waiting on some decent weather. I will be installing the battery the day after tomorrow and won't be able to test until the end of the month. I'll probably upload a video on my experience with it.

Thanks for the review! Great job!

Our pleasure. It was a blast doing it. Caught over 30 bass that day!!

Awesome! Y'all were on them!

[@pdfishing5625]

Man it was crazy! Drop shot was the sauce for sure..

[@jakethao4562]

I’m new to this and I like the set up. How do you rig it up. 5 batteries and a 4 bank charger. Also, running the sea clear to its own battery.

[@pdfishing5625]

So my motor keeps the cranking battery charged, the other 4 are hooked up to the charger. The SeaClear has its own connectors that I run a switch from.

@@pdfishing5625 thanks once I get all my batteries and harness I’ll try to rig it up like your

I am looking into getting ionic, I was thinking I would need the 100AH and not the 54 or whatever. I see you are running the 54. how long during the day does this last you using the 54?

[@pdfishing5625]

What are you going to use them for? Trolling motor? Electronics?

[@kevinarcher7701]

Can you use lithium batteries for cranking batteries on any motor?

[@pdfishing5625]

yes sir!

[@OROutdoors]

Got 2 50ah for my 24v system, fished in 25 to 30 mph winds and killed them in about 6 hours, trading them in for 2 100ah for my 24v system. Should be overkill now, even on those super windy days.

[@pdfishing5625]

Yea, I still have the (3) 50ah for my 36v system. It was plenty when I had the Garmin Force but since I put the Ultrexx on there I only get about 5-6 hours in heavy 💨. I will probably have to upgrade as well or just buy another Garmin Force to put back on!!

@@pdfishing5625 does your app show you the state of all cells in your system? Can you see the balance of all cells when running?

[@lakemarionbassin9749]

is it better to have to 12v for a 24 or just one 24v for a 24v 80lb fortrex

[@pdfishing5625]

I don't believe it matters, its all about the amperage of the batteries!

[@garydickerson]

you can run into balancing issues with 2 12's . I would think 1 24v would be better.

[@pdfishing5625]

@@garydickerson I run (3) 12’s and never had an issue but a single 100 would work just as well with less space used.

[@chrishill5672]

I see 5 batteries. Do you change leads to charge all batteries?

[@pdfishing5625]

I have a 4 bank charger and the 5th is my Cranking battery so the motor keep that one charge. I also have an external if I ever need to charge it..

[@FranklinHicks-qs4gs]

How much are you using the trolling motor ? I was considering 2 50ah lithium for my 24v trolling motor and was worried it wasn't enough. But you say you are getting a week out of them ??? Incredible

[@pdfishing5625]

Yes, do keep in mind that was a Garmin Force. I have since changed over to a Kota and I am now only getting about two days of running time ..

[@FranklinHicks-qs4gs]

@@pdfishing5625 Roger that. Didn't realize the garmin was so much more efficient !! I just got a 24v ultera. As long as I don't run out during the day I'm good. Thanks for the info !!

[@johnwhite528]

I thinking of doing the same to, ionic 12v50ah, for my 80lbs thrust minn kota ultrex. I'm just wanting to get a full tournament day out of them.

[@FranklinHicks-qs4gs]

@John White that's all I'm looking for, a full day on the water. I haven't been able to use mine yet but from everything I've read 50 ah should be ok

[@johnwhite528]

@@FranklinHicks-qs4gs I was going to get 2- 12v50ah batteries and run them in series for my 24v minn kota ultrex. I just want so feed back before I buy them and get to a tournament and batteries dead after 4 or 5 hrs

What’s the Ionic website?

[@pdfishing5625]

Lithium Hub is where you can buy them.
