Team Marine TV checking in! 👍🏻

Running all Ionic blue lithium’s! They have a bluetooth app so you can keep track of power usage, charging time everything!

Great video; appreciate hearing real facts and experience from a service shop. Putting a Minn Kota on my saltwater skiff and have been considering lithium. Now I’m sold!

Who's running Lithium's out there? Comment below on what brand your running!

Ionic...Best price and service All A cell battery.

I'm running 3 of the 75ah Relion lithium batteries for my trolling motor. It really helped the hole shot on my old Triton TR21X. Also I updated chargers to the NOCO Genius Genpro10x4 charger to charge my AGM cranking battery, and 3 lithium batteries.

I've been thinking about going with the Titan 36 from Monster. You've just sold me on it Andy! Great video Team!!!

Great video! I am using 2 100ah Impulse lithium with Bluetooth app for Ultrex and haven’t gotten them below them below about 60 percent even in high winds and high current for hours. Still use a blue top optima for motor since it is in great shape. The Noco charger has been great for all batteries since you can change the charger settings for each battery.

Thank you for doing this video. A ll of the videos are helping with my new Blazer Boat build. The Ultrex video helped a lot. I asked for the lithium batteries and you answered all of my questions, Thanks again. Speed, Money, No Brakes!

Great information. I switched from Optima Blue top AGM's to Battle Born Lithium batteries (2 - 24 volt system) and couldn't be happier. I saved a total of around 60 lbs and I never have to worry about running out of power during the day. The bonus is they are much easier to pull out of the boat when I place it into winter storage.

Love your channel. You have really got me interested in the Suzuki engines. Good to have a semi-unbiased opinion.

Keep up the content! You will have hundreds of thousands of subscribers before you know it. Love the straight forward real info 👊👍🤙 Been binge watching!

The weight difference would be great for the guys running tin rigs. I personally have the RT188 with the 115. If I could save that much weight it would be a game changer! Andy always coming in clutch with the knowledge! SPEED MONEY NO BRAKES!

Great video Andy! Thinking about making the change, great information.

I've been running a Lithium Pro for 2 years now. Glad I made the switch!

Awesome video!!! Thanks for the education!

Love my ionics 👍🏻 Yamaha 250 HPDI turning a 27p t1 and the hole shot immaculate. Took out 4 x2 battery’s and replaced them with a 36v and a 12v 125.

Thanks for the video. Learned a lot. Keep up the awesome job.

I been “on the fence”. You just nudged me over. Thanks!

Been running 3 50ah and 1 125ah ionics for nearly a year. Absolutely love em.

Monster, Lithium Pro, Relion and Dakota are my favorites

3 100ah ionics last two years have been awesome. Their charger works well too

I emailed you about this vid... thought you posted it like 2 years ago... boy was I way off... ha ha! Great info here!

Running all miller-tech lithium batteries and they’re the way to go!!

Thanks for information

I've been running ionic lithiums with minn kota charger for a year now, no issues love them

I’ve ran Miller Tech batteries, 12 volt in a 24v system for two years. Worth every penny. They have there own charges system. Biggest thing Is don’t over charge. I now run a timer to the charger to be sure it’s off in two hours. Average charge time after a long day is three hours

Running Impulse Lithiums with their charge on the go system with great success. One 12V cranking and two 36V for trolling motor. Suzuki 200 motor. Impulse Lithium have blue tooth capability that has worked well and have only plugged into wall once in the last 3 months for charge. On the go charging keeps them topped off.

3 50 ah Ionics on my 112 Fortrex and 31 series AGM for my engine and electronics. Ionics 4 bank charger does all of them. 2 years in and I love them. The Bluetooth app is great.

I'm running HOE Hennessey outdoors electronics made lithium Batts 36v and 2 12 v they work perfect!!! Brigg and his guys hooked them up they make them in house all have built in switches to protect your motor if something was to happen. Iv been super happy also run the power pole charge. I can fish for days without having to plug in.

... 11/16/2022 ... Monday, 11/14/2022, I removed 3- 12v group 27 wet cell batteries and the 3 bank Minn Kota charger. I installed a Monster Marine, Lithium, 36V, 50Ah for my Motorguide Xi5 and the Monster Marine 12V and 36V charger. I reduced the weight by 144.2 lbs from my Triton240 LTS, bay boat center console. CANNOT wait to use it OTW. Thanks for the video that helped me see the light. Love your channel. . Jeff .

Awesome video. Amazing channel. Love it.

I just started running Miller Tech cranking and 36 V trolling, along with the Miller Tech Charger! Best investment!

I was wanting a lithium battery but was not sure what to buy. After watching your video I ordered a Monster 36v for my Ultrex. Thank you for the video

I have a 16' smoker craft, I run two 100ah Amperetime lithiums for my trolling motor, and have a group 27 lead acid for my accessories and cranking my Yamaha 30 tiller. All getting charged By a noco 5x3. By getting rid of my two group 31s It dropped over 100 lbs, hole shot is way better, tows better, and gained like 2 mph on top end. I wish I had the money for Dakota, but I've had nothing but good luck with these and they were about half the price. Cool video man.

Great video Andy still on the fence

I’m running 4 lithiums 3 for the TM, one for the graphs and using the Minn Kota digital set to AGM which charges them perfectly. I’m running an X2 AGM for cranking/house power and it’s amazing. I think X2 is making lithiums so when these ones I’m running kick I’ll be running X2 pure in the back. Speed Money No Breaks!

I run a monster 36v 50ah with a power pole charge. When I went to this set up my boat sat 4inch higher on the trailer. My hole shot is amazing. Getting a monster for a starting cant wait to see what happens with that in my boat.

Running 3x 50ah ionic for my force... still x2 for cranking with the 4 stroke. Batteries have been fantastic, ran them 14 hours on sturgeon bay sight fishing on the force all day, got down to 35%... only time I've ever seen less than 70%.

Great show Andy 👍👍 I am going with lithium batteries this fall been waiting for you to do a show on this l am going to use a AGM for starting only and House lithium for everything else great job bud 👍👍

Hands down best lithium battery is Battleborn. Built in Reno, NV. RV industry has gone to them and no problems. Glad he addressed the chargers, if you don’t have a charger that can handle lithium it won’t do the job. They charge higher than lead acid, agm, gel.

I am running Ionic lithium batteries with their charger and love them, I get multiple days out of a charge!

Would you run your graphs off those with the trolling motor or just get a separate smaller battery?

I learned a lot. I follow a few inshore boat builders down here in Florida. Lithium batteries for those boats multiplied a ton. Lithium battery pros. Bass boas even tin. Inshore flats boats bay boats even your bigger offshore boats. All those boats great value for lithium. Now here’s where a question lithium. A 1660 Jon tiller 50hp I don’t see a much of a gain

Have a monster marine lithium I use as a cranking and accessory battery in my duck boat. Think I’ve had it for 3 or so years now. Bought one because their company is in Arkansas which is where I live. I have loved it. Never have to charge it hardly ever. It gets beat up constantly, like I said it’s in a duck boat in arkansas. I use it to hunt, fish, sandbar ride, all sorts of stuff. My old one had an outboard so wasn’t as bad, but my new one has a mud motor. Swapped it to my new boat after I sold my edge and its taken everything I have thrown to it on this havoc mstc and runs my gatortail, 40 watt cubes on the back, southern lite rooster tail on my gatortail, southern lite gen3 light bar, Phoenix interior strip lights, lights in all my hatches, southern kite exterior strip lights, 4 8 inch speakers in my boat with an amp, probably forgetting my stuff but what it boils to is it runs a whole lot of stuff. I don’t lose power through any of it like I would with a flooded or agm. The lights are the brightest they can be and the speakers are as loud as they can be with everything on at once. I will never own another boat without one. I use their little 30 ah to run a livewell and my livescope stuff fishing. Best thing I ever did was switch my stuff on my personal boat to lithiums. Next year before summer I’m overhauling our bay boat with lithiums instead of flooded for weight savings and once again full power to everything no matter how many accessories are being used

I got 4 of the pro-guide lithium and love them. My question is should I run them all the way down or is it OK to charge after each day ? Never had them below 50% after 12hrs of use on my solixs 15 and 12 pulling a of voltage.

Monsters are made here in arkansas super good company love there batterys

Going to be 2 lithium Pros back when I can get it to you. Still 5 solid years of use

Andy love the videos. I use bass pro lithiums (got a deal on them). They are rebadged relions and I have had great luck with them. One thing to note on safety is that these batteris are lithium-iron composition as opposed to lithium-ion you find in watches and cell phones. It is my understanding that the chemistry in these batteries are more stable but at the cost of a little capacity in comparison to lithium-ion.

Running rebel 100 amp batteries a veteran on company and there great

i just bought a 2007 stratos 294 xl that came with 3 agm batteries. boat came with 1 12" 1 8" and 1 7" hummingbird. iam getting rid of the 8" and 7" and adding 12gpsmap garmin and 2 9uhd ecomap with panoptics and adding mega 360 lol. with one lithium run all this or are the agm sufficient. thoughts

Powerpole charger has had issues charging lthiums. They had an update addressing the issue not sure if it was fixed yet.

I'm running Gline lithium with a NOCO charger. To me if your not using a good charger it's like putting bad gas in your boat. NOCO chargers can charge a different battery type on each lead which is nice if your cranking battery is lead acid AGM etc.

when I upgrade to a ultrex I plan on adding one of those monster 24v lithium batteries. I say buy once cry once its worth the purchase.

Battle born in the old boat and ionic in the vexus 100ah. So far I freaking love them. Price is crazy but I hate charging and swapping batteries

Had a Relion for a starting battery with an older 2 stroke. The issue was the protection circuit disconnects the battery if it detects a voltage/current problem. Once that happened, it disconnects. That causes the voltage regular to fry (same as disconnecting a battery while the motor is running). Had to switch back to a flooded for the starter and put the lithium up front for electronics. Running 2 Solix 12's all day used 20% capacity.

Definitely think Millertech is one of the top brands out there. Numerous big names run them and I have had nothing but good things to say from mine and all the boats I've put them in.

I just bought the RoyPow 24V 105A troll battery comes with a charger and marine grade build WIFi & Bluetooth app it’s unreal. Haven’t used it just got it today.

Be careful with that powerpole charge. I know several people here locally that are having their lithiums go into sleep mode. Got rid of the charge and no issues since. I love my ionics with noco gen4pro charger. If I'm not mistaken a lot of batteries are now coming out with a BMS system to protect them from overcharging.

I heard from a electrical engineer, you can use a standard charger if it puts out 14v....?

I wish there were more places as dedicated as your around the country. It’s so hard to find a good marine service center.

What about the power pole charge good for lithium

Run all day on 1-36v lithium for troller? Building my next boat and thinking going 1-36v for troller and 2-12v for starting and electronics.

I had lithiumpro batteries in my boat back a few years back. They lasted me only about 3.5 years. I tried to coordinate with LP and their “prorated” replacement was going to about 75% of new cost. I went back to traditional batteries and have no regrets. If you loose your 36V during a tournament you can’t get it replaced quickly at a local parts store. Unless you are able to have a spare 36V battery with you. I like the concept of them but the cost was / is pretty pretty steep still. Hopefully they keep improving the technology on them and bring the price down.

This year I bit the bullet. I am running 3 Monster 12V 100Ah after doing my research. One for my 2 Humminbird Solix 12 and 360. 2 for my 24V Ultrex. So far I been impressed with them. Trolling motor is running at the end of the day without power loss. Meters are also running strong with both meters and 360 on all day. I am charging the batteries with the Minn Kota precision battery charger made to charge lithium batteries. This charger is supposed to wake up a lithium battery if it shuts down to my understanding. Is it worth the money. I would say yes. Less weight, strong at the end of the day. I do run a AGM battery for my starter battery. And also, have switches to cut pwer when charging. Do your homework before buying.

As a Fireman, Andy is 100% correct. Never have any Discharge when charging lithium. Isolate them and have a GOOD charger. Treat the batteries right and you will be a believer.

Gread Vid, very informative... Suggest to either mic up the other guy in the room asking the questions or repeat his question...

Does anyone have experience with Odyssey batteries for the engine. Any recommendations would be great

Also - Have 3 battleborn lithiums on my trolling motor. Big motor died and trolling motor got me SEVERAL miles up the lake with 27% charge left

Question Where would you install the monsters on a Bullet 20XD? Doesn’t seem to be any room in the back I’ve been wanting to upgrade to a 36 volt system

My brother and I have Ionic for the past two years no problems . I use there charger and they are Bluetooth.

I just purchased a 36 volt lithium USA battery and charger. hope it does well for my ultrex. I am brand new to the lithium system hope it does well My local dealer is happy with them it’s a investment but the advantages seem big

Any opinions on the RoyPow lithium. i run an all electric boat with a 60 volt ray which can be ran at 72 volts. Roypow makes a 72 volt pack and was curious if you guys have any experience with them

You should look into powerhouse lithium they're veteran owned company they have 16 V for your electronics 12 24 and 36 V batteries with a 15 year warranty And chargers plus they have a run & gun charger.

Running millertechs and will never go back. Nothing frustrated me more then my trolling motor battery’s running out of power, now I don’t have to worry about that anymore. Had them for 4 years now

do the monsters have a cold temp charging cutoff on them like Ionics? If so how can i buy one from you guys? I live about an hour and a half from LAX

I have a Crestliner VT 17 with a minnkota 24v 80lb. I have a 10” garmin with livescope and a helix 7 up front along with a 10” hummingbird at the console. Was wondering if anyone has suggestions on what lithiums I need to run. I have space in the back for 2 batteries and my starting for the mercury(lead acid). I have spots for 2 more battery’s in back tackle compartments if necessary. Thank you!

What's the runtime difference between 3x12v 125ah, and 2x36v 73ah...?

I haven't actually witnessed a meltdown, but I've seen the results of one, and heard of a dozen more. Pretty Scary! The last thing I want is to be out in the middle of a lake on a cold winter day.....and having something/anything in my boat that I suddenly want to be far FAR away from. 😳 The industry appears to be working really hard to keep those instances quiet, and that freaks me out. I don't want anything in my boat that I don't understand or trust.

Does using lithium starting battery void your warranty on a 250 Yamaha sho the new motor

Nice video . I know you like customer service. Call and talk to Miller tech. Great company and batteries. Great charger as well. Several pros, not sponsored running them.

What size of battery (ah) would you recommend for a 24V Terrova on an 18.5' aluminum boat to troll 1.5-2.0 mph for 8 hours?

Great video man thanks. Would you go lithium on 12v side for a 1990 black max xr2 150? Wasnt sure if the charging issues was applicable to the old school reg/rec setups? Thank you in advance keep up the great content 👏

Love the information guys I have an 18 amp hour amped outdoors Lithium ion phosphate Works great with my helix9 GEN 4 and my mega live thinking of getting a 24 volt for my Minnkota appreciate any of your thoughts

I’ve been running Dakota for a year with a Victron DC to DC charger

What’s everyone’s thoughts about doing 1 (36v) or 3 (12v) system for the trolling motor? Just worried that if the 36v goes bad then your down but if you have 3 12s then at least you still could run the trolling motor even if one battery goes bad.

You don't need two different onboard chargers. Noco offers multi bank chargers that can do flooded, AGM, Lithium 6v, 12v. If you are running 24v/36v single battery that's a little different. If multi batteries wired in series good to go. Up to 10amp charge rate I believe. So you will give up a little on the speed of charging lithium, but only need one onboard charger. They are also IPX67 waterproof rated.....

What about iconic brand lithium batteries what do guys think about them.

Looking for a video on the pros and cons of bypassing the oil injection system on a 2003 mercury EFI and converting to mixing gas. Can’t find any was hoping y’all can do one. Could anything go wrong by doing this? Will it help improve the reliability and longevity of the engine? I am about to buy a bullet with this motor and just want another opinion.

If the warranty length is exagerated, like LED light bulbs, for instance, then these things should last about 3 years...

Monster is the only way to go. 5 year free replacement with a new battery if you have any issues. They mail you out a new battery that day. US based tech support with people who can help you.

I had to change out my Rb100-HP, l live in a cold climate and had the alternator shutdown the battery bc of overcompensating. It only takes 15,5v to shut it down, and according to Merc the new V8 can give out almost 20v if it is neccessery. Happened twice, not going to leave my again with a dead(computercontrolled) battery when its arround freezing. Made it my electronics battery that can be connected to my starter battery for a jumpstart.

Im fine with the new sonar. My problem is going 70 mph to the next spot, some go 80 or 100 mph. Your asking for speed limits with the leash talk.

Any word on amped outdoors batteries?

Can anyone attest to getting “days” out of your lithium batteries without charging? I was told by a dealer if I pair 2-36 volt 60amp hour batteries together I could easily get 3-4 days on a single charge that would be powerhouse lithium. What brand do you use?

Monster 40ah on my 36v 112 is sickkkkk

I just bought a Suzuki 9.9hp 2022 electric start. In the manual it specifically says do not Lithium. just an FYI

Is it possible for you guys to do a video on using a lithium batteries as a starting battery. That would be great. I’m thinking of buying Dakota batteries for trolling motor and starting/electronics. Cheers

Could you tell me what charging system you use on your monster lithium battery 36 volt

I've been told you can't run an ultrex on lithiums above 8 or it can burn up the trolling motor? Any truth to this?
