2025-06-08, 20:11:45I'm planning on moving to a new server within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Just a little friendly warning as there might be a few hours of odd behavior when the process starts. I will try to have it done at night or weekend.

Bass Fishing Tips, Techniques & General Discussion / Re: Lithium Battery Chargers
Last post by FrickerDude - February 02, 2024, 04:37:37 PMQuote from: djkimmel on January 30, 2024, 10:58:14 AMOkay, good to know. Is 6 amps enough to recharge a lithium battery overnight? When I camped a lot it took all of 15 amp charger to recharge lead acid batteries overnight at some of the campgrounds.
They say you take the Amp HOurs and divide that by the Amps. So if that 100AH battery was completely dead it would take about 16.6 hours (100AH/6A) If it was discharged down to 50% I would assume it would take half the time.
That's why I chose the 10amp. 10 hours if batteries were completely dead, which I would guess would be pretty hard to drain these batteries completely in a day.

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.
