update on trolling motor usage on a 3-night camping trip: (monitored battery power through bluetooth app on my phone the whole trip)
Motored into the campsite which was about 2.5 miles in. Using power level 30/100. Drawing around 3-5amps. At this speed I could go for around 20 hours I...
I guess I'm not really planning on caring using this while charging as much as I am discharging it in the canoe. but if it isn't a good option, I'd be better off with this...
Reposting this to the marine section as well. I think there are a lot of fishing people out there that use AGM/Lead Acid deep cycle batteries that would benefit from this conversation. I just don't know how many fisherpeople are venturing to LiFePO4 batteries yet.. but for my application in a...
Ended up pulling the trigger on this battery. I am wondering if there are any charger recommendations? I have an existing NOCO Genius 5amp, which does have a Lithium setting... but I've read some reviews that it may not be the best for lithium?
Exactly what I was thinking of doing, but with the Ampere Time. Any reason you went with Zooms?
I currently have a NONO Genius 5amp charger. It has a lithium setting but I wonder if it would take ages to charge that thing..
is this the same one Will recently reviewed and was impressed with? I don't think I need the internal heater portion. The bluetooth looks great though.
I had my old lead acid in the one I purchased originally.

It’s a bit big honestly, but it’s what I...
Mainly interested in batteries for canoe/kayak applications where weatherproof, and low temp charging cutoff is available. There doesn't seem to be both of those combinations out there..
I'll likely only be charging in the house or garage, so I don't think I would need an IP65 rated charger. I'll likely go with the Cheapest of the three then.
There doesn't seem to be both of weatherproof AND low temp charging cutoff combinations out there.. I know the 100ah SOK battery is solid for just about everything besides being weatherproof.. I am a newbie/beginner with LiFePO4 batteries as well as most of what is discussed on this forum, but...
Suggestions on charging this battery? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08N56CYS5
I have a NOCO Genius 5 that charges @ 14.6V on Lithium mode. Is it worth buying a victron smart charger?
Oh, I meant I pulled the trigger on the Smart CHINS 100ah battery. But I'm guessing that a charge voltage of 14.6V (3.65V/cell) is doing damage long term?
I'm just not familiar with charging voltages and whether I should invest in a programmable charger that I can set to 13.8V?
Also, is the...
Anyone have any familiarity with this product?

Amazon reviews look decent for it. I was looking to pair this with a 100ah Chins battery in my canoe. Wiring it up to monitor discharge...
I think the max draw on the trolling motor is around 50A. So most of the lifepo4 batteries I am looking at is at least 100A.
I'm using the canoe for fishing mainly for day trips, but the occasional "backcountry" camping trip. So I won't ever be charging it while on the boat, only at home...
