Lithium Boat Battery
Just wondering if anyone has a Lithium battery in their boat as opposed to a lead acid battery. If so what alterations need to be done to charge and maintain etc?

Re: Lithium Boat Battery
Some lithium batteries have built in features for charging requirements and some don't. Either way it seems that there is a certain way LiFePo batteries need to be charged to get the best out of them.
Just some general info.

Re: Lithium Boat Battery

i upgraded my battery to run my sounder off this beauty.

Havent had the time to water test yet, but read some great things about how the technology works.
Its lighter than lead acid and you can discharge it fully without damaging the battery.

Re: Lithium Boat Battery
Actually Lithium batteries are the best for withstanding a lot of vibrations

Re: Lithium Boat Battery
All the same as an acid battery but just with a Lithium charger. I have a Victron charger which works well and wasn't too expensive

Re: Lithium Boat Battery
Considering the headaches involved with simply freighting lithium batteries, due to them being being unstable and susceptible to igniting, there’s no chance I would personally put one in a boat.
Pros - lighter in weight and you can get more out of them.
Cons - may burn your boat down.

Pretty much because they are lighter and have greater amp hours.purple5ive wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2020 12:55 pmany specific reason you want to go to a lithium battery? they are not the cheapest battery to purchase either.

Re: Lithium Boat Battery
You must be really old school Redhunter.. Nearly every electronic gadget you own has a lithium battery in it. Cars have lithium batteries and are running on lithium batteries these days.Redhunter wrote: ↑Tue Jan 28, 2020 12:47 pmConsidering the headaches involved with simply freighting lithium batteries, due to them being being unstable and susceptible to igniting, there’s no chance I would personally put one in a boat.

Cons - may burn your boat down.
I've been running lithium batteries on my 2 stroke for years and with all the banging around and vibration the bike puts out i haven't had a fire yet..
I think you'll find, just like anything else, if you buy quality you won't have an issue.
Pros - Lighter, Quicker to charge, Can ran them down to 0%, Fully sealed, No maintenance (apart from charging), can put up with vibrations and last a lot longer than lead acid batteries.
Cons - Expensive.
