Anyone have experience with
Li-Time Lithium batteries for troll motor?

If so, what's the verdict?


TIA

Not specifically with Li-Time but so far I've had good luck with the cheaper Chinese batteries on Amazon.

Have 4 12v 100ah DJLBERMPW (dumb name but it's an abbreviation for something) in my golf cart and they've been awesome.

Just put a Temgot 12v 200ah in my motorhome and it's great as well. Has low temp charging protection and an app to monitor the BMS.

I'd have no concerns with Li-Time.

To add a little more... I suspect you've already done this research but you'll need a Lithium specific charger and if you want to connect it to your alternator to re-charge on the water, you'll want an Li-BIM or a DC to DC charger to protect the alternator.

Put 3 LiTime mini LiFePO4 batteries in the boat six months ago to run MinnKota 36 volt trolling motor. Very impressive. Had 2 two day trips running spotlock non stop and the batteries came home at 50-75% charge. Using NOCO 3 bank charger setup to the lithium charge setting. 3 minis at 17 lbs each versus 3 agms at 35 lbs each. Only known issue- don’t charge in low temperature, no low temp protection in the brains. Pull the trigger with the specials they are running now.

Last summer I installed 3 ampere 12v, and 36 v Ipilot, and a Noco genius 10x4. With a single plug in It charges my lead cranking battery, my lithiums, I can spot lock all day in strong tide and never run out of juice. Best investment ever. Without walking out to garage, I know my amperes are larger than 50amphour, but not sure if they are 100amphour, or somewhere in between.

Edit:They are 100 amphour... 22ft pathfinder boat
