Hi reef hawk just wondering what charger you went with. Ordering a new boat and am thinking of the same. I still want AGM for my crank and also wanted to isolate a dedicated
12 volt 54 amp lithium just to run my graphs up front pan optics and possibly 360. I’m reading up on the power pole charger but there seems to be a lot of unhappy anglers venting on some of the set ups and problems they’ve had and now I’m wondering what to do myself?
I'm going with the 10amp Dakota charger. So worst case 10 hour charge time. If you want to get fast charging the 20amp charger would do it in half time, but it was a big jump in price.
Make sure to get
lithium 12v charger. Not AGM, gel, lead acid or combo. Just lithium 12v (which really hits it with 14.4v)
I run:
- separate normal marine cranking battery
- 2x23amp (46ah) Dakota lithium's for 2 Garmin Echomap Plus, with Panoptix/liveScope . < -Ran the livescope and one Garmin Echomap for 12+ hour ice fishing days on a single 23ah Dakota many times. Never ran out of juice.
- Tournament Lithium 100ah for 12v , 55lb Xi5 <- 1st year with new battery.
cheers.
