I finally got a weather window to get out and do some testing. TM - MG xi3 55 lb. 12v. Battery - 65 amp lifepo4 Boat - 16 ft I checked boat speed going with the tidal current on max TM speed for 2 minutes. I was moving at 3.8 mph. Then I turned it into the current and speed dropped to...

He did it on purpose…………:ROFLMAO: When I saw that I was like……hey……give that battery to me if you don’t want it anymore… I posted that because that battery company got an immediate good reputation based on reviews on Amazon. Later, after establishing a good reputation, they started...

Walmart…..Vmax 55 amp. https://www.walmart.com/ip/VMAX-LFP22-1255-12V-55AH-Lithium-LiFePO4-Lightweight-22NF-Battery-Inflatable-boats-30-50LB-Trolling-motors-704-Watt-hours-Battery-weight-15-5LBS/354947063?from=/search

As I stated earlier……the majority of information about the inner workings of these batteries comes from ”influencers”. They get paid and/or get free product. I dont trust that…….. I did see one video of a test on Wiese batteries where the influencer was pleased with the product. Months later he...

I see it suggested a lot to look for batteries that specifically state use of Grade A automotive cells. Some of the strangely named batteries on Amazon are not……or they may use outdated BMS without thermal controls. If a deal seems too good to be true…..it usually is. As stated earlier…..Buy...

You won’t notice any difference.

Lifepo4 batteries can still read 14+ for hours after charging, then they settle down to 13.6 ish…….People test them right away and think it’s super high voltage.

I use a multimeter to check my voltage……….

The rails on top are only tack welded in spots. it’s common on Grumman and Duranautic. Both made in the same facility.

Just guessing but probably to fill the holes left behind by something that was there.

That boat was kept well……

I had the 13 ft. Model and ran it with a 9.9 4stroke. I later put a 15 Yamaha on it and the ***** ape mentioned earlier comes to mind. I used it in saltwater bays and tidal rivers…… Your boat is welded and should be fine withe a 4 stroke 9.9 as I see plenty of them here in NJ. My current rig...

for internal stuff like that I just dab a little sealant under the head of an aluminum rivet and pop it in.

The battery and charger arrived. I was apprehensive about it being a demo but when it arrived it seemed like a newly packaged unopened battery with the 5 year warranty. I would never have known if they didn’t tell me. Anyhow, I got additional money off so there is that. Got everything installed...

They make a 15 ft. Sport that will take a 7hp now……..

I checked out the specs…….that’s got the blue tooth so you can monitor the power level on your phone. That warmer feature is good for batteries that spend the winter outside in the boat. You can charge in freezing weather……

yeah…..I get that. If you pay about 200 bucks for something and a warranty issue costs $40 shipping each way…..Plus after 2 years it will be prorated. It becomes 50% of the cost of a new one. However if they are lowering warranty from 5 to 1 right out of the gate they must know something.

It’s the 65 amp model. I bought it through Walmart Website. I rechecked and my warranty will still be the 5 years as the purchase is still through Walmart. If you buy directly from BargainShore‘s website you will get the $225 price but only 1 year of warranty. It may be a return….. Walmart is...

The company selling the battery through Walmart (BargainShore) called me. Seems they don’t have a battery in stock to fulfill my order. They asked if I would accept an unboxed demo. It’s new but not in the original box. Said it would not affect warranty………discounted 15 percent. It went from...
