Bass Fishing Tips, Techniques & General Discussion / Re: Lithium Battery Chargers
Last post by FrickerDude - January 25, 2024, 10:21:56 AMI just recently purchased some lithiums and ended up going with a minn kota 330PCL. I was on the fence if 5 amps a bank would be good enough for me. Found a good deal on the charger and was not much more than a 5 amp noco or a 6 amp MK.

Fishing Tackle & Equipment For Sale / Lithium Starting Battery for s...
Last post by djkimmel - January 16, 2024, 03:57:35 PMI was fortunate to acquire a RELiON RB100-HP 100AH Lithium starting and deep cycle battery. It's brand new right from the maker still sealed in the box. It generally retails for $900 to $1150 online. Some places charge even more.
It's 12.8V, Size 31. It has 6 terminals for great versatility. Weighs about half of your average wet lead cell battery at just over 30 pounds.
I'm asking $700.00 for it. The one tricky part - I don't think I want to go through the complicated process of shipping the battery so if you're in Southern Michigan or passing through sometime soon, we maybe can work it out. You can contact me https://www.greatlakesbass.com/contact-us/ or call my business phone at 810-433-2277.
If you're seriously looking we can do an online invoice through my GreatLakesBass.com PayPal.
