Your gonna have so much trolling motor run time! Can’t wait to see the testing! Good job!

Wish half the boat mechanics had your skills and attention to details!

Great job on another quality install. That has to be the best equipped 21 foot pilothouse Ive ever seen. You take great care of that machine!

They weight is so important. I’m struggling getting low weight also. Great video cap. Thanks for making it.

Hello Captain, Your instructions and install with your boats new batteries was very good. Take care and great boating.

Great job Capt.... you always do a first-class job!

You always do a very clean professional looking job!

Ok, so you are making me jealous again! lol. Nice job and great to see this type of upgrade. I will be very eager to see how these perform for you. In my case, I have not yet gone for the 96" Rhodan that I want which will take 3 AGM batteries if I want to keep the expense down. However, 3 AGM Group 31's weigh total of 202lbs. Cost is $600. If I go to the Lithiums, it would be $1500 but at a weight advantage of 70lbs. In my case, my boat being a wide beam 25' Grady can handle the 70lbs. However, over time, I think once the Lithiums come down in price, that is the way to go for sure. I have 2 AGM Duracells for house batteries now going on 7 years and still pass the Carbon Pile load test, so they are still as strong as they were the day I got them. For your case, the weight is a great advantage for you for sure! But if I can shave off weight here and there, it does help! Keep the videos coming and can't wait to see the results what you experience in comparison.....

I recommend the Renogy battery monitor for those. Its a very accurate monitor thats fairly cheap. You can see it in action on my channel with the lithiums on my golf cart. And its fairly cheap at less than $100. You are going to love those batteries.

Hey captain thanks to you I’ve been taking my fishing KZfaq channel more seriously even a long time subscriber

My friend great installation as usual, I’m so proud of you, I’m in the process to buy a 2021 Parker 2320, I can wait to start doing almost all your upgrades, if you don’t mind I’m going to ask you a few question ones I have my if you don’t mine, thank you and be safe

Nice to see this upgrade Cap, literally worth its weight in gold. I made same upgrade a couple years back and asked if you were considering it before I jumped. No regrets, used same brand batteries as yours. The latest is I just bought a lithium Ionic starter and a cheap lith house battery. According to Ionics its plug and play to replace AGM, not sure though re: alternator charging lith battery without a dc to dc charger. Hope to see you make that switch too and share it, perhaps I can let you know how mine works out after install. Thanks

Good Move! Expensive move, But Good Move! Definitely worth it! 😎👍⚓

Nice install captain and now you will get a lot more out of your batteries now as you know. Nav safety

expensive but certainly usefull, nice job .👍👍

The new charge looking good 10A each channel.stay safe captain

Hola.Felicidades por tu canal desde España.Es un verdadero placer ver esos paisajes paradisiacos!!.Tengo una duda sobre el cargador que has instalado para las baterías; éstas van conectadas en serie y por tanto dan una tensión de 36 Voltios, sin embargo el cargador es de 12 Voltios,¿es correcto?.Saludos desde el Mar Cantábrico!!!!

That was perfect!

Big fan from pflugerville Texas. 😀

Amigo Estoy aprendiendo mucho de usted gracias por compartir estos vídeos que nos ayudan a mejoras. Quisiera saber cómo las baterías están funcionando después de 7 meses?

Nice job!!!

Also Did you get 50AH or 100AH. Motor pulls 52AH I believe so at 100 X 3=300 divided by 52 is about 6 hours of run time. Is that what you get? Thanks for all your help for doing some weird (lol) things to my boat. Love your videos and all I need is to ditch my Center Console and get a Parker. At 76 yrs old it’s time!

...wow.. that boat is one large battery...lol..good additions..stay safe skipper..

Only you capt .Real boat owner bring the Moment like we are there with you .watch you from back..saw your DIY...like the placement of Battery and so Powerfull...but so sad no closing without cofffee

great video as always. Curious why you did not just go with 1 36v Lithium

Incredible workmanship as always. Can I ask ... why would you put all that money in that particular boat? I love the boat but it’s small.

Hey man first off I enjoy your videos very much. I’m looking to upgrade my 17ft center console to either a larger 23’ or a pilot house like you have. Seems like it would be better for my kids but I feel like I’m the pilot house you can’t see as well as you can with a center console? And can you do a video on the cost of a trip to the Bahamas I really want to make the run thank you!

I have a simple Jon boat, only a single 12v needed. Do it you recommend these batteries for that?

Did you connect all the 3 charger positive cables to the 36v positive side at once? If yes that would help me a lot. Now every time i charge the batteries i disconnect all the 36v connectors and charge the 3 (12v) banks separate.

How are you liking the chin batteries since you have had a changes to use them now Just wondering because I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on the same battery for my new boat that I take delivery of in October Thanks

Good video buddy I bet you'll get an extra hour maybe an hour and a half of run time on your Minn Kota

Captain, you are much braver than I am. You explained it well. I was advised by my Minn Kota installer that I would only need one lithium battery to replace my 3 AGM batteries. Now, I’m really confused.

Your approach to installing is patience, not so much for me. Looks good, Happy fishing

Thanks again for the video. Very informative. I have an off topic question : I’ve seen in a past video that you have a nice cover for your boat. I recently purchased a similar boat with a pilot house (23’ Steiger Miami) was wondering where you got that cover?

Let us know how many hours of running time you get out of the trolling motor after you test them thanks great job

Another great video! I clicked the link to the batteries but there’s multiple 12 volt AH batteries to choose from. What size AH did you go with? Was it the 100AH? Or the 200AH? There’s a huge price difference between the two.

Thanks for sharing

Great video, will buy the lithium battery through your link. Also, what crimper are you using? I need one for 6 gauge wire. Thanks

Thank you for your videos. Don't build up the batteries emit gases? What do you do about ventilation during use or charging ?

happy to find this video looking for a lithium setup for my 32v Minn Kota.. Watched a few of your beautiful pilothouse videos in the past. Wondering, what has your experience been with these CHIN batteries so far?

Nice. Did you replace the engine start battery with lithium too? I knew you did the ones that ran the fridge but it seemed like you had a wet cell battery in the rear starboard compartment.

Hey Captain, Now that it’s been a few months can you tell me how you like the lithium batteries on your Terrova? I’m considering selling my Ulterra and getting your exact setup. Any issues or things you wish you had done different? Thanks.

They make affordable 36v batteries now. Are you considering go to just a single 36v lithium..can get one for $500

I’m waiting on mine. Same batteries but getting two for 24v system. Bought the same charger also. How are they doing so far and much more life are you getting out of them? I’m going from 50ah AGMs to these 100Ah so I’m expecting a huge difference in run time.

I will use your link for the batteries and the charger.

What do you use for your starting and house battery. Would those be acceptable

Are you concerned about the stability of the cells in the lthium batterys if left dormant? My brother runs down his lithium batterys when he is away on work trips

Capt, how are those batteries working out. I’m about to buy mine for my new trolling motor.

I'm running the same trolling motor I'm curious how are your lithium batteries holding up and what is the run time?

That NOCO 10x3 charges faster than the other one you have?? ( I believe is 10x2 )

You ever check out Eastern boats or Defiance? Any favorite model ?

Lithium vs Conventional Batteries for Marine deep cycle applications

Hey. Captain-Minnkota says No-No on Lithium batteries! What is your take on this? Says voids Warranty and not good for circuitry etc. I would like to do this but nervous about frying my 4 year old, working perfectly, Ulterra!!

Awesome upgrade. I definitely need to upgrade my trolling motor batteries and get the same charger as well. How do you like the batteries you purchased so far? Are they holding up ? 🎣🥳

Great video, pls do link info on batts, thanks

( sorry off topic ). How many miles to the gallon are you getting or how much gas does your PilotHouse use to get to bimi and back ? ( btw great vids - thks for posting !!! ).

Hello: For that battery system: you use 120 VAC, Generator. Can you use your outboard motor to charge it? Thanks.

What battery are you using for engine? Didn't look like you will have the amps needed for the motor.

Capt how are those chins lithium battery holding up ?

Any news on how many run hours on the trolling motor?

buen video capitan hace falta un camion de dinero para los botes jjajaajajajajaj💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰

Hello, thanks for the video! I ordered the minn kota ulterra 112 lb 36v 72” shaft and planned on getting these batteries after seeing your video. Minn kota states their 112 lb motor has a max draw of 52 amp. These lithium batteries states that their max amp output is 50 amp. Have you noticed any performance or operating issues with your trolling motor? Thank you!

How are the quality of the batteries? How do they compare to the agm batteries?

With the charger, you don't have to disconnect the batteries in 36v series? you can just connect the charger to each battery and leave it right?

Do lithium battery have to be tricked charged

Hi Captain hope you're doing well. Why you going 36v?. Is the mincota not a 12v or I'm I now confused

Have you had any issues using that NOCO charger with those batteries? I am considering get 2 of the batteries to run my 24V Minn Kota Trolling motor and I have have NOCO GENPRO 10x4 Charger.

Do a update on ur battery setup please

How often do you charge your batteries.

Which AH battery are you using?

Hello, I finally got two Chins lifepo4 12v 100 ah battires and same charger (2 banks). Charge voltage 14.2v to 14.4v. For the batteries. My charger only charger at 13.6v Do you have the same issue? Thank you.

How the charger doing on those battery im thinking about doing the same thing for my boat.

How are the batteries holding up? Would you just the same size again?

How have these batteries worked out over the past year. Is it worth the extra expense in converting to lithium? Great video

I’m thinking of making the purchase for a 24v battery for my 80 thrust pound trolling motor , do you still recommend that brand if so send me affiliate link

So how do you like the lithium battery brand so far.

Moose on the loose. He talked about you and when he was picking out a boat to purchase. Parker lost another customer 😆🤣

Hey Cap…why didn’t you just buy 1 36v lithium battery?

How are these batteries doing after 3 years? They are getting so cheap now that it makes no sense to buy lead acid anymore.

I just wonder what he can do with a 36 ft. Boat

Your on 95 today pulling your boat

$500 a piece?

hello . Any battery that you use ,they all cost the same 40 to 50 dollar per years, the advantage of lithium batteries is that they can be discharge below 12 volt . second advantage weight. in my opinion I don't buy battery from china, fire risk and they cheat. your next step solar panel I have in my boat working perfect

If I gave him a free 36 old hatters what he would dream up for her

My friend great installation as usual, I’m so proud of you, I’m in the process to buy a 2021 Parker 2320, I can wait to start doing almost all your upgrades, if you don’t mind I’m going to ask you a few question ones I have my if you don’t mine, thank you and be safe
