On any trailer that I put significant miles on, only Goodyear Endurance or Maxxis. If I am just putting on 25 to 50 miles a year as my two boat trailers get, I will buy cheap Chinese tires like Carlisle.
Here is one example....if one cell was 0.5V higher than all the others, the BMS would stop ALL charging once that cell reached it's max voltage during charging and all the other cells would be 0.5V lower. Your total battery would be 1.5V lower than a full charge. Now that is an exaggeration as...
I just looked at the manual for that charger. I would personally use the custom profile, set the max voltage to 14.4V vs 14.6V and set the auto maintain to 13.2V to 14.4V if that is doable. You could potentially use the LiFePO4 setting with preset 2 but 14.6V is higher than I like to run. The...
The charging profile for a lithium battery is actually very simple. Bulk charge until absorption voltage of between 14.0V and 14.4V. Then constant voltage until current drops to zero giving enough time for the batteries cells to balance. Once that cycle is completed, drop to a float voltage of...
If your trolling motor uses 24V or higher voltage. Buy the lithium battery with the actual voltage you need instead of putting multiple 12V batteries in series. That way the battery balances itself.
If I was buying new batteries right now, I would be buying Epoch batteries. They are more money...
LIPO batteries are a different story. We are talking about LiFePO4 batteries here. LIPO(lithium polymer) batteries are the ones commonly used for Remote Control airplanes and cars. COMPLETELY different.
Why would you use a NiCd battery charger on ANYTHING other than a NiCd battery. The voltages...
You won't get a fire if you charge with a lead acid charger. The worst that would happen is that it wouldn't get fully charged. A lithium battery has a BMS which shuts off all charge current once a certain voltage is reached so you would never be able to damage them.
Yes...they last WAY...
Personally, I wouldn't do it. You would have to buy a dual purpose LiFePO4 and then you have to get a DC to DC converter to properly charge it otherwise you will burn out the alternator.
If you are talking about getting some lithium batteries for a trolling motor set up, that's another...
