I seen lots of choices for lithium batteries as I’m wanting to power up my troller that uses 36 bolts and take some wait off the boat. Has anyone purchased the above set up from Amazon ? Most other websites are asking 2 k plus for this same set up. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

https://drewcraft.com/product/dual-pro-realpro-series-lithium-compatible-charger/

https://drewcraft.com/product/50ah-ionic-lithium-light-weight-trolling-batteries-for-36v/

drewcraft is where I got mine and a lot of others on here did as well, excellent customer service and someone that will honor a warranty if needed.

the ionics are also bluetooth, all your battery info on your phone. personally, I would not buy lithiums from amazon, warranty problems will be a major pain imo

I have these batteries with a 4 bank precision charger on a garmin force @ 36v. should be all you need.

If it looks like too good a bargain it probably is. Buy from a reputable seller.

You can get close to that price with Ionics going w 3 50 AH and a charger from them or from NOCO using the pro series.

Lots of guys running them with no issues.

To order look up will i am on here , if you want to drive up to Wylie they are on the shelf at my place.

Most likely! I’m running 3 100ah Gylls from David at Shut up and Fish on the TM with a Noco charger and one for electronics as well with a single bank charger. I’ve been really happy with them and I can get ahold of David if something goes wrong!

I just dumped my 2 - 12v batts for a Eternal Lithium 24v.... The weight saving is unbelievable and its holding up better than the lead acids by a lot.....
They make 36v Lithium batts also so you don't have to deal with 3 batts...

I wanted the larger ah plus I want 3 in case one goes down I can drop a gel battery in it’s place and keep fishing. If I go with a 36v battery and it drops I’m done

the 100ah should in theory give you twice as much use time, 3 50ah will run my force for more than 2 days easy, windy then 2 full days and power never drops..

main difference besides the weight savings is the lithium will have the same voltage/amps up to the end, flooded/gel wet cells will lose voltage and amps and is why you get a slower motor the more they drain.

depending on which tm you have you should be good for at least 2 solid days with no problem.

same for me but I won't have to drop in a replacement, one reason I got the force is it runs on 24 or 36v with no changing stuff, plug n play

CAUTION this battery does not have low temperature cutoff. Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries cannot be charged in temperatures below 32 degrees or you will ruin the battery. The damage to the battery would be irreversible. Ampere Time makes a Lithium Iron Phosphate battery with an internal heater but it is not this battery.
