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 had my old lead acid in the one I purchased originally. NOCO HM318BKS Group 24-31 Snap-Top Battery Box for Marine, RV, Camper and Trailer Batteries https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004W5SGBO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RJMM4BJRZ980KJRD019V?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 It’s a bit big honestly, but it’s what I...

Yes I did. I ended up going with the 100ah smart CHINS battery...

I'm using the app for the low temp cutoff, heating, 12v 100ah CHINS battery with no problem.

Will SOK ever make the 100ah battery in the marine safe format? Or just the 200ah?

What are the disadvantages of the pouch cells versus the prismatic?

well I just ordered a 100ah Chins Smart battery. hopefully I didn't get screwed, but it hasn't even come in yet.

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...

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?

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?

that's a pretty good price too. I've seen a few comments about BMS issues with this battery though?

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 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...

Anyone have any familiarity with this product? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013PKYILS/?coliid=I2S15TDFRAYWQ4&colid=V7M67T4O1Z0P&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it 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'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.

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..

stlwx21 have you decided on a battery for your boat yet? I am also in the market for an ~100ah battery for my canoe trolling motor.

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...

No worries. Not much info out there for canoe/kayakers looking for the budget type 100ah batteries.

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...

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...

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..
