I've had two power queens for a year and they get heavy use. Zero problems so far. 👍

Glad you are on board with these finally!

The only people still running lead-acid or AGM batteries for their trolling motor or electronics are folks who just don't understand the math that separates "cost" from "value". You can maybe still buy a lead-acid battery for less, although most AGM's cost bascially about the same, but the performance you get from LFP batteries is 4 times as good. You get twice the run-time out of a battery that weighs half as much, plus they will last 2 or 3 times longer, at a minimum. Something a lot of folks fail to grasp about the LFP batteries is how their capacity DOES slowly become less and less, but unlike lead-acid or AGM, when these get "old"...they're still perfectly usable! With lead-acid or AGM, they just won't hold enough voltage anymore, to run your stuff. That doesn't happen with LFP - you just have reduced amp-hours worth of capacity...they still work just fine! :)

The Power Queen 100ah is a great battery, i'm running five of them in parallel in my small 2000 watt solar system here in Jamaica.

R they still working good for u. I think to get one just for my electronic

[kravenfoxbodies]

I plan to pick one up with the charger and box for my Lowe 1440M to power i
just my trolling motor, to bad they can't start my little 8hp Yamaha 4stoke, as I plan to add the starter later on to the engine.

Would the 100ah 12 volt run a 34lb thrust trolling motor on a 12 ft boat 8hours plus no problem?? Love ur vids!

I have been discharging my (2) smart batteries by utilizing the 12 Volt lights in my Toy Hauler RV, approximately 32 watts per the Power Queen Battery monitor. I have noticed through the Power Queen App that the Batteries are not discharging equally. In fact I now have battery (1)12100BG-A00798 at 98% and battery #2 12100BG-A00602 at 23%. I have noticed that battery #1 is in standby mode per the App. Is the standby mode normal, or do I need to take it out of standby mode somehow? If I need to take it out of standby mode how do I do that?

LI = lithium, FE= iron, Po= phosphate , no ion in it !

Got mine today. Weight in at 21.8pounds. The standard version

[BobbyJones-tvim]

You guys should kit out a 19 foot Grumman canoe they are only 100 and a bit pound stock I’m gonna be doing mine up been watching your videos on how to frame the floors and stuff I’m buying a 9.9 today

What are your thoughts of running two of the 50ah on a 24 volt trolling motor. (Minn Kota Powerdrive)

[MrBumbles]

fyi that is not a smart charger, charging is controlled by the bms. the charger just puts out 14, v or so. also if you live in a cold climate please get low temp protection on the bms... E Even with a hobby grade lithium charger, it delfaults to bms control. issues with motor and lifepo4 is alternator output. and there are lifepo4 batteries for starting but the bms is the big cost. don't advise you using lifepo4 unless you know what you are doing as a starter battery. the mini's do ok but most are flat pack lifepo4 set up. check your amp draw on your trolling motor before you purchase a battery. some older TM draw high amps as the brushes get worn. guy had a old minn kota 45 lb and it was pulling 85 amps going straight to hi. when it shouldn't be over 40 amps. swapped out his brusshes and 38 amps bms never tripped again. prices are coming down almost not worth building your own lifepo4 batteries. there are plenty of people who tear these batteries down and look at build quality etc. will prose is probably the best at this and has the knowledge of construction etc. do not try to charge a frozen lifepo4, be a bad day. there are better options coming soon. built a 200ah 24v and can go days in the stratos. don't fall into the trap that certain american co. batteries are better lol, there buying the parts and building them then charging you top dollar. have repaired sevral that were just poor constuction, used cells etc.

I rig bass boats for a living and usually people that do not buy power queen lithiums spend on a normal set up with 212 inch graphs upfront and two on the consul they will usually spend three to 4000 $ 5000 on the high side on just batteries I can rig boat.
with power queens and it’ll be $600 for all of the batteries in it does not even take up half the space

[Cyrus]

Will the mini or reg size 100 ah battery fit in a marine battery box?

[thomasnegron]

Wish they had the mini last year when I got my first lithium battery.

[matthewmorrione]

Would the 100ah 12 volt run a 34 lb thrust 12 ft boat 8 hours plus no problem??

[ericfoster]

Dumb a group 24 100ah equal to the same power as a group 31 100ah battery? And is the mini 100ah equal to the other bigger batteries. In other words, if it says 100ah and you put equal charges on all 3 batteries, with they pretty much all run out of power at the same time?

[donniefoster]

It blows my mind I get the same power from a 24 group size as you do a 31 group size I fish from a Jon boat so I don’t have a lot of room so the 24 size is what I’m going with for all day trolling on a 45lb trolling motor

[oflofl]

wanting to run a 24v fortex. to save space, runninh 2 12.8v will be better, is there a way i can run them together and charge them together that will work for a 24v setup?
