locator batteries

[glenn57]

my Marcum locator battery took a deep dump!!!!!!!!!!

has anyone changed to the lithium batteries.........and your thoughts?????? i had a Duracell in it and lasted a long time. is the extra ching worth switching to lithium?

from my little bit of research, lithium is way lighter and has 3 more AH them the Duracell!!!!!!! i may need one soon also for my underwater camera!!!!!!

I think they do, but not 100% sure...

I have heard that too, but a buddy a couple weeks ago used my charger for my marcum to charge his lithium on his marcum.

  I think Merc has said he went to Lithium on his flasher last year, pretty sure he's said he'll never go back again too. I believe he got his here https://ampedoutdoors.com/collections/tungsten-ice-jigs & I think their price is about as good as you'lll find anywhere. I know you don't buy online, glenn, but you can compare prices as some will rake you, if they can. You might want to ask some of your FM buddies, bet some of them are using Lithium.

The owner of IDO is invested in Norsk. I may look for them, or I'm just going to batteries plus.

I've asked around about lithium batteries needing a separate charger, Yea they have them as I was told lithium likes a hard hot charge. But I guess chargers for lead batteries do work just takes a long time.

I switched to lithium for my vexlair. Going on 2 years now and haven't had a problem.

You are correct Gunner I have the Amped lithium and love it. Spendy bur the weight difference is amazing. Plus they run my Hummingbird ice unit much longer. Got mine at Scheels. Spend the money Glenn I hear those big wig union guys are rolling in the dough.

Digi-Key in TRF?   One of life's little mysteries how that company ended up there.

Started in a garage, ron stordahl bought some comouter parts thru the mail, had some left over and put an add in the paper to sell them . Now DK  did 4 billion in revenue last year

I used to buy electronic parts for Auto Jiggers there and got excellent service and shipping from them.  Great company to deal with.

I switched all my batteries to dakota lithium, yes separate chargers. For the livescope I run a 12v23ah and it can run for 10+ hrs

[glenn57]

I see the Amped site I listed has 10 different sizes listed for their Lithium Electronics batteries. The smallest is 7.5ah, then there's a 15ah, a 20, 30, 32, all the way up to the largest listed for that purpose which is 160ah.

I run that 12v23ah on the Garmin. On the 16 ft tiller with the 25hp motor I run a 12v135ah 1000cca for my starter and my two Helix 9s. The trolling motor will run off a 12v100ah.
Big thing to note, if using a lithium ion battery in a boat make sure it's meant for starting if you are using it for that

Yeah, but still a mystery to me.   Thief River Falls ain't exactly a major transportation hub.   Must be Boar's work ethic.

[LPS]

Yes they did wonders finding a work force.  I see it is close to EGF so maybe they draw workers from there too.

[glenn57]
