Great video buddy and so glad you mentioned safety precautions! I have a scar that I'll have the rest of my life from getting shocked and burned by accidentally hitting the post of two batteries with my ratchet. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@1Cast1Fish 3 года назад

Always a good reminder to be safe

What amp charger do you recommend charging these with? 1.5 for example, 10, etc. Thanks!

@1Cast1Fish Год назад

Depends, most mounted chargers are 5-10 amp per bank (per battery) The removable clamp on types are 1-10 amp normally For most fishing batteries I would go at least 5, and would go to 10 if you have larger batteries such as Group 31 as they will charge faster.

My 1995 jon boat out there looking at me like.... "dude, its been over 20 years, bout time to check me".

@1Cast1Fish Год назад

Was it wrong you made me laugh...funny how some things just keep on going. Honestly though, they don't make things like they used to

@1888CHAD8881 Год назад

@@1Cast1Fish I did flush and fill the batterys. Tore off the 2 old fish finders, pressure washed it. Got it parked right up front until i put a casting deck and the 2 new fish finders/ all new wires and lights. This thing has 3 batterys, a trolling motor and a 25hp mercury on the back. I gotta keep it in decent shape until my son gets old enough to enjoy fishing.

@1Cast1Fish Год назад

That’s a awesome hand me down gift. Hope all goes smooth with the upgrades.

@Lanescruggs3 2 года назад

How often do you fully charge your batteries between trips out to the lake?

@1Cast1Fish 2 года назад

I have a 4 bank on board charger, so I just plug them in when I get home and the charger takes care of the rest

@byronakhavi953 2 года назад

I purchased the Snap ON EECS550A battery and electrical system tester. Can this tool be used to avoid testing with a hydrometer? It notes state of charge and health. My batteries are showing 87%. Just wanted to know when the batteries should be replaced. below 60% for example?? Thanks.

@1Cast1Fish 2 года назад

Pretty high tech tester you got, I would say that it should do a good job of telling you your battery health. The big thing I use the hydrometer for is testing the "Charge" of each cell and this will show a bad cell. The tester you have can tell you if a cell is bad as well....so you are good to go. Not sure on replacement % though that would be up to you and how much degradation you are comfortable with and performance.

@byronakhavi953 2 года назад

@@1Cast1Fish Thanks for the reply. I think 87% is good for now. They are 3 years old now and the warranty is done. The tester is overkill. I just have a little addiction to Snap On. Hate the cost but they have never failed me.

@1Cast1Fish 2 года назад

@@byronakhavi953 they make good tools for sure.

@marilyngatson2289 Год назад

Do you need to disconnect the battery if you are filling them up?

@1Cast1Fish Год назад

I do not disconnect them, however you want to ensure that the charger is not on, and has been off for a few hours. This ensures you see a more accurate water level as charging can have small effects on level.

@theduck9939 3 года назад

I don't know what happened there but preventative battery maintenance is so important. Don't want to have to try to fix it if your battery goes down while you're on the water. One of the common mistakes for new boaters for sure. You can't just get off and walk. Fix bilge pump and some other issues today on our money pit.!!!

@1Cast1Fish 3 года назад

I have found that a little bit of maintenance can go a long way. These batteries lasted 7 years...so not to bad IMO. BOAT...Break Out Another Thousand :)

@theduck9939 3 года назад

The other acronym for boat that I heard was buy other anglers troubles.

TRUTH

@joshuasmith2689 3 года назад

Lead acid batteries have such different rules from the other types, almost opposite in some ways.

@1Cast1Fish 3 года назад

Battery Tech has came a long way and offers some interesting options now for boaters. I actually just replaced all my batteries, hence this video...they lasted 7 years, so not bad IMO. I thought about going lithium, but it was 3,200 for them...I got these same batteries again at 600....lithium would have saved me about 60-80 lbs ...just not worth it IMO
