Battery Selection and APH

These are very good batteries, last much longer than regular, are lightweight, and don't require the careful maintenance that lead acid batteries do. There are a number of choices on that search page. Some are simple, and others have more features. At this price, I would have bought the bluetooth versions, but it's not necessary.

The basic100 AH batteries should easily last you a full day on a lake. For about $159, they don't cost much more than a Walmart battery. I use mine to fish the CBBT and also lakes here in VA. A simple choice to make, in my opinion.

This is the $25 charger I purchased, and it's worked well. I have two, since I need to charge multiple batteries:

And free hacking on your credit card....Temu is number one on the BBB credit card fraud usage business. Beware !!

Making the switch this spring to a LiPO4 battery for my 55# trolling motor. My LA batteries are from 2019 and even though they still work, their capacity has dropped and don't want to have them die on the water. I will be ordering from TimeUSB directly, rather than Amazon as the couple dollar savings is not worth the hassle if a warranty issue should come about. Going with a 140ah battery to replace my two LA battries, will save about 100 lbs and a much longer run time. Can't wait for spring !!

Well, lucky me, been buying at Temu for a few years, no issues YET. Temu has been very good when it comes to damage or fit issues.

I ordered Lithium from Timeusb just 30 minutes ago, here's hoping!!!! I only have a single MK Power Drive @ 55# thrust that switches between 2 boats so the weight savings will be appreciated..... I also ordered their charger so they can't blame faulty charging on me!!

Consider yourself lucky, Temu is on the gov't radar for stealing information by the Chinese gov't. The BBB stands against them highly. We have investigated them a lot because my wife gas been burned for hundreds of dollars and stealing of her identification thru Temu...BEWARE !
