Solo Burrito, I don't see how you can call it a hoax, maybe marketing, but the performance
0:05
of a lithium battery vastly outmatches lead for sure. Sure there are some downsides and it doesn't fit every application
0:14
For 36 volt trolling motor, you definitely want lithium, 100%. So being a hoax, I'm just saying that, you know, there's a lot of people out there that
0:23
think it is a hoax. So when a lot of people that take somebody that has never been in boating at all, someone
0:30
that works in an office, administrative, they don't do outside stuff, they're not a mechanic
0:36
they're not, you know, a DIY person, they're not, you know, they don't have to deal with
0:40
mechanical stuff like that. They're coming from an outside perspective in. They look at a battery and they don't know the chemical makeups of a battery
0:48
There's so many people that don't. And so they look at it and they go, oh, this battery is a thousand dollars
0:54
This battery is $200. And obviously to them, not knowing anything about it, they're like, you know, this is
1:01
a hoax. There's no point. Why would I spend a thousand dollars for this when this was 200
1:05
That's kind of the angle there is to try and get those people that don't know anything
1:10
about it and to be able to reach them with something that can educate them and help them
1:16
to kind of understand where things are going and show people the technology that's out
1:20
there and that it is safe that, yeah, they do, it does have its downsides and it is going
1:26
to be continuing to change. But for sure, lithium trolling motors, I mean, by and large, any trolling motor should be
1:33
on a lithium battery because you have that constant power. You have, you know, power all the way down to the end and your battery is going to last
1:42
a lot longer. So on a lead acid battery that might get maybe a thousand cycles tops for a $500 lead acid
1:50
battery for a thousand dollar lithium, you're going to get 6,000 cycles out of the battery
1:57
So it's like, why not have a battery? You spend $500 more, but you have a battery that lasts five times as long and you can
2:05
use that battery all the way down to like 20%. Most of the BMSs will, you know, start to tell you, give you warnings and like they
2:13
don't let you generally take it all the way down to 0%, but 100% it's lithium
2:22
The performance aspects of it vastly outweighs those of a lead acid battery, depending on
2:28
the application, anything for a deep cycle house or stuff like that
2:32
The bigger thing is that people want to use them as starting batteries. And I think you're going to see them being used more for starting batteries, 100%
2:42
We just saw Yamaha, this is probably by the time this video comes out, it's probably going to be a few weeks ago that Yamaha bought Torquedo, Brunswick being Mercury, bought Relyon years ago
2:53
So now you have the top two brand manufacturers of outboards in the electrical space
3:00
So, I mean, lithium is common for starting batteries, whether people want it or not
3:06
it's just going to be that way. Lead acid is not going away, but you're going to see lithium a lot more because it is more versatile
3:13
We talked about it, I think last week where we were talking about solid states, sodium
3:18
and all these other chemical makeups. So the change in the market and the change in the industry is coming and it's going to
3:24
be awesome. Things are going to last a lot longer. Hopefully the price will come down, but like you said, the performance aspects of it do
3:33
vastly outweigh it. See shoes. I love my lithiums. I run an AGM for starting electronics, but my trolling motor is on lithiums
3:43
I can run days on them before charging. Some of the lakes I fish are electric only, and I could put around on the trolling motor
3:51
all day long without an issue. By switching to lithiums, I dropped something like 70 pounds out of my boat, which is huge
3:58
The boat handles better now and picked up speed. So there you go
4:04
Just like what we're talking about, the lithiums, the advantages are there
4:09
Generally you can't go all day and even that days without charging the deep cycle batteries
4:16
just because of the state of charge of the lead acid. So you might be able to run one full day on your trolling motor with your deep cycle lead
4:24
acids, but after the state of charge of those batteries get drawn down to like 50%, the
4:29
next day when you go out, you're going to drain those batteries quick and you're not
4:33
going to get the same performance. Whereas the lithium, even at 75, 50%, you're still getting the same amount of power output
4:39
that you were when it was at a hundred percent. So definitely all of the advantages there
4:46
