Amazon budget Lithium batteries - 12/14/21 03:48 PM

Any one have any experience with budget lithium batteries?
Anyone use 50ah trolling batteries for 36v ultrex and have all day power?

I do not , one thing that is holding me back from trying them is the lack of low temp charge shut off. From what I understand ,
charging lithium batteries at temps below freezing will damage them.

When the price for a 12 v 100 ah battery with low temp charging protection , for under $400, I will be a buyer,

I know Impulse Lithium offers a 12v-60ah that I hear runs the troller all day. They do have the low temperature cut off and offer a 10yr warranty

I don't know about the cheaper batteries or the warranties they come with. There are so many things to consider when buying Lithiums, the case seal is one. If you get water intrusion it will kill the battery. I would go with a more reputable company

Looks like a lot of Pros run their products. Frank Talley, Lee Livesay, Randy Howell, Boyd Duckett, BMP and more.

I believe their 60ah is $475 on the site

Bought a full set of Ionics about a month ago, 3 50's for the tm, a 125 for the big motor and electronics and their charger. To me it was worth spending a little extra for a name brand with us based customer support.

Myself and 3 friends all got our Ionics from Drewcraft. Great customer service and support. Also no sales tax if you order from him.

Bought mine from him as well. Haven’t needed the CS, but I read that he’s great with it.

Give them a call or send them an email... They had a sale on non bluetooth 12v 60Ah back in October and I got them for $399 a piece, free shipping. Was nervous about the lack of warranty on the Amazon site... Couldn't be happier so far... And if you just have to know where your batteries are charge wise get the Amped Outdoors meter for $70...

No low temp charging sensor. on these. My understanding is , If you try charging these batteries below freezing , It will permantly damage them.

Are there chargers available with a low temp shut off ? Or a switch you could put between charger and power supply that shuts down in cold weather ?

thanks guys

I believe these chargers offer low temperature protection. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08G3DLYX8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

I ordered a Moesworth 12v 100 ah from amazon for $318.00 It claims to be low temp charge protected.

We will see how it goes.

From what I have read when you order the cheap ones, like I did, it has a BMS (Battery Management System) of at least the amp hour rating of the battery. For example if it is a 100 amp hour battery the BMS should be at least 100 amps. You have to read the fine print to find this info as some of the 100 amp hour batteries have a 50 amp BMS.

some of the ionics come with a heater built in.

from what I read anything less than 32* and you will probably damage them.

they get pricey with a heater.
