Great video and a great test 18 hours is a good run time . 👍👍 Thanks for sharing .. Stay safe and As always Sir thanks for the ride along and Keep’em coming
Thanks for posting Michael. Wow lots of testing for this review with great results. I too concern myself with Lithium battery fires. With lead acid we have to worry about off gassing during charging. Cautious with charging any 12 volt system in the basement as it might be a fire risk. Great price for those batteries. Like the weight saving also. Look forward to your next release. Cheers
Great video , now you could replace your lead acid batteries on your outboard , i use two batteries one for cranking and one for accessories like radio, lights etc.
I got 4 of this battery with" chargers" for $617.00 and free shipping from temu and loving them on my off grid solar system and they power my hunting camp all week no sweat.
I have four 225 ah Trojan lead acid batteries in a room attached to my home. They power several inverters for different circuits of the house. I have 15,000 watts of solar panels set up, some for morning, some for noon, and some for late afternoon. I am 95% off grid (need grid power for a welder, lathe, air compressor). I recently bought eight cheap 100 ah lithium batteries. I have nightmares about lithium fires (retired merchant marine engineer), so I built a cement bunker in the side of a hill 50 ft from my home to house those lithium batteries. Recycled a steel weather tight cabinet placed 5 ft from the batteries to house the inverter and charge controllers dedicated to the lithium battery bank with around 2000 watts of panels dedicated to the lithium battery bank. I use from 3 kwh to 25 kwh from the power company per MONTH. My circuits have transfer switches to off grid inverters and I have no grid tie inverters. The lithium battery bank 110 volt inverter supplies 3.5 kwh to 3/4 of the house per day via a bank of generac switches. Another dedicated inverter to energize an electric water heater uses 8 kwh per day. I use around 4 kwh per day from a 240 volt inverter plugged into the generator receptical transfer switch used in the daytime with the solar panels/lead acid battery bank. Don't know why I wrote this except that the fire hazard with lithium is a concern. Great test for those inexpensive batteries!
Will Prowse is another youtuber who regularly test lithium battery pack, whether for home use, boating or camping, and study the construction, limits for discharge and temperature. I would suggest to pick a lithium battery that has a low temperature sensor if you plan to charge your battery outside in cold climate. This is the big risk for lithium, trying to charge them if temp are under 32°f/ 0°c. Most entry level battery don't have a low temp sensor, so they will charge even if the pack is too cold, and they can suffer, or cause damage. The next upgrade is having Bluetooth connectivity with the battery, allowing you to read voltage, consumption, % of charge, number of cycle etc... It's useful just to check how much capacity you have remaining on the water. It adds around 30-60$ for it, but adding it afterward cost around 40$ on amazon for a cheap screen that connects to your battery.
You have your batteries wired in parallel it looks like so your doubling the amp hours. Running a single battery would reduce your run time for testing/ comparison purposes. I have a 24 volt TM with enjoybot lithiums and easily get 2 days of use out of them. I mainly stay in spotlock though.
Yes, since it's a 12 volt trolling motor I wanted to be able run for up to at least a long weekend without a recharge. I use spotlock a ton myself. Thanks for watching
I troll all day with an electric motor. I had 2 deep cycle lead acid batteries before. They would slowly run out of juice so I had would have to increase the speed on my trolling motor. They would not last all day. I got one lithium ion 100 amp. It lasts all day and maintains full output so I don't have to keep upping the speed and one battery weighs so much less then 2 lead acid.

Thanks, will do, thanks for watching

Thank you for watching and commenting
Great side by side test as usual. BTW beards looking good
Appreciate it, thanks for the compliment and for watching
Great video thanks. I've been waiting for the new one
Thanks for watching! Do you watch both of my channels?
@@Michaelsbackyardmarina no just this one?
Great content. Thank You. I’m in the market for a couple Li Po. This helps. MBYM videos are the best.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
Thanks for posting the show.
Our pleasure!
Great video , now you could replace your lead acid batteries on your outboard , i use two batteries one for cranking and one for accessories like radio, lights etc.
I haven't used the lipo's for starter battery yet. Thanks for watching

Wow, that is a good deal, thanks for watching

Lot's of good information, thanks for watching
DC in the House !
Yes sir, thanks for watching

I will have to check that out, thanks for watching

That's the plus for lithium, thanks for watching
The friction of the water will make it use more amps .. a 100 amp light would should last 1 hour ?
try on both accounts, thanks for watching
