00:10 - 00:13

hi there folks welcome to this episode

00:11 - 00:16

of Michael in the backyard this video is

00:13 - 00:19

sponsored by Enjoybot today we're going

00:16 - 00:22

to be covering the Life Pro 4 12vt 100

00:19 - 00:24

amp hour battery system here and the

00:22 - 00:27

reason I say system is because of the

00:24 - 00:29

features this battery has i have two of

00:27 - 00:33

them we'll be applying this in a

00:29 - 00:35

24volt application i also going to check

00:33 - 00:37

a 12vt application for all you guys that

00:35 - 00:39

have the single hand controlled trolling

00:37 - 00:41

motor cuz it's only fair that you know

00:39 - 00:43

how they're going to hold up for you

00:41 - 00:45

i've done testing on these 100 amp

00:43 - 00:47

batteries on a trolling motor on the

00:45 - 00:50

setting five on a mid set mid setting on

00:47 - 00:52

a setting that goes from 1 to 10 setting

00:50 - 00:54

five in a barrel of water running we're

00:52 - 00:57

going to find out if that happens today

00:54 - 00:59

what comes with your Enjoybot battery

00:57 - 01:01

make sure you look in the description

00:59 - 01:02

down below there's going to be lots of

01:01 - 01:04

there's going to be a discount offer

01:02 - 01:08

there's going to be uh a link to the

01:04 - 01:10

video a link to the website so far from

01:08 - 01:12

what I've seen and what I've played with

01:10 - 01:13

so far and I haven't ran these or tested

01:12 - 01:16

these but I've been playing with the the

01:13 - 01:18

Bluetooth it comes with some stickers it

01:16 - 01:20

comes with some stickers and it comes

01:18 - 01:22

with a clear sticker when you peel it

01:20 - 01:24

you can see it and it comes with a

01:22 - 01:27

really cool little manual that shows you

01:24 - 01:29

how to Bluetooth connect your battery to

01:27 - 01:31

your

01:29 - 01:33

phone now they're not the first to do it

01:31 - 01:36

but it's the first one I've had and I'm

01:33 - 01:41

pretty excited to play around with it so

01:36 - 01:46

I did there's a QR code in here that you

01:41 - 01:46

canoop and it'll go to your

01:46 - 01:52

phone i'm gonna hit the battery thing

01:49 - 01:53

here and it's going to say connect which

01:52 - 01:56

I've got two batteries out here which

01:53 - 02:01

one do I want to connect to i connect to

01:56 - 02:04

it boom that's 100% charge 13.41 volts

02:01 - 02:09

shows electric shows average volume uh V

02:04 - 02:10

low it shows VA high power in watts so

02:09 - 02:11

this is pretty cool it does

02:10 - 02:14

autobalancing if you want to do

02:11 - 02:17

autobalancing are are you pecking up

02:14 - 02:20

what I'm putting down this is talking to

02:17 - 02:22

this our cell phones will now talk to

02:20 - 02:24

batteries not all batteries but any

02:22 - 02:26

battery that has a Bluetooth

02:24 - 02:28

capabilities like this one it has low

02:26 - 02:32

temperature control it has a built-in

02:28 - 02:35

BMS what's a BMS battery management

02:32 - 02:37

system pretty cool stuff we're also

02:35 - 02:39

going to look at I've got another

02:37 - 02:42

product here with a lipo battery you

02:39 - 02:44

need a lipo

02:42 - 02:47

charger and this is a life po charger

02:44 - 02:54

that they sent me to test out it comes

02:47 - 02:55

with alligator clips bam bam and I can't

02:54 - 02:56

for life remember the name of this type

02:55 - 02:59

of

02:56 - 03:03

uh connector but it's one of

02:59 - 03:05

these like this can't put it together

03:03 - 03:07

backwards it also comes with another one

03:05 - 03:08

for the This comes with the charger

03:07 - 03:10

comes with one that you can put right on

03:08 - 03:12

your battery terminal so you're ready to

03:10 - 03:14

plug in at any time

03:12 - 03:17

so check out the link in the description

03:14 - 03:19

check out their website uh I believe

03:17 - 03:22

these batteries are around $200 each

03:19 - 03:24

these things have come way down across

03:22 - 03:26

the board and now is the best time I've

03:24 - 03:28

seen so far to buy and if you're trying

03:26 - 03:30

to if it's time to replace your lead

03:28 - 03:33

acid battery now's the time to do it not

03:30 - 03:34

to mention the weight of these things

03:33 - 03:38

you're not going to do what I just did

03:34 - 03:40

there with your lead acid battery no way

03:38 - 03:41

i'm not going to give you the exact

03:40 - 03:44

weight but these usually come in around

03:41 - 03:47

22 lbs or less and somebody go "Well

03:44 - 03:49

that's that's still heavy." Okay I've

03:47 - 03:52

got a strong finger maybe i don't know

03:49 - 03:54

but okay now I'm starting to sound like

03:52 - 03:56

the Shamwow guy and there's more no

03:54 - 03:58

there is more folks i'm going to get

03:56 - 03:59

I've got That's the water you hear

03:58 - 04:03

running in the background right now is

03:59 - 04:05

me filling up my test tank to test that

04:03 - 04:06

trolling motor in the test tank i'm

04:05 - 04:07

going to get the banana boat back in

04:06 - 04:10

that has a

04:07 - 04:12

24volt trolling motor on it we're going

04:10 - 04:14

to bring its water tub inside here fill

04:12 - 04:16

it up so I can do it outside of the

04:14 - 04:17

weather the weather has been kind of not

04:16 - 04:19

predictable lately so I want a

04:17 - 04:21

controlled environment so I don't have

04:19 - 04:23

to have my boat uncovered in the rain

04:21 - 04:25

and whatnot we're going to run it in

04:23 - 04:27

here and we're going to set the timers

04:25 - 04:31

that I've got on the wall over here as I

04:27 - 04:33

keep track of my time and uh there again

04:31 - 04:34

we'll be able to see the amperage draw

04:33 - 04:36

as soon as I turn this thing this

04:34 - 04:38

trolling motor on I'll be able to see

04:36 - 04:40

the amperage draw right here on my phone

04:38 - 04:42

and I'll be able to loosely calculate

04:40 - 04:44

how many hours this should run because

04:42 - 04:47

if it's drawing 3 amp hours and say I I

04:44 - 04:50

bleed off 80 amps of this battery and

04:47 - 04:53

that's the low lowest it lets me go

04:50 - 04:56

we'll find that out too um then it's you

04:53 - 04:58

know 3 amps divided by 80 is what say if

04:56 - 05:01

it was 90 amps that'd be 30 hours of run

04:58 - 05:02

time so that's how easy it is to

05:01 - 05:05

calculate

05:02 - 05:08

that very good

05:05 - 05:10

so with that being said we're going to

05:08 - 05:11

go over here to the test tank we're

05:10 - 05:13

going to start this up we're going to

05:11 - 05:15

look at some of the stats on my phone as

05:13 - 05:17

to what this trolling motor is drawing

05:15 - 05:19

off the battery we'll have a start we'll

05:17 - 05:22

have a finish we'll have a timer it's

05:19 - 05:24

going to be exciting guys i want you to

05:22 - 05:26

I want you to experience the fun of

05:24 - 05:29

having lightweight batteries with tons

05:26 - 05:30

of power that you can run all day with a

05:29 - 05:33

trolling motor and not worry about

05:30 - 05:36

running out of battery for probably the

05:33 - 05:38

most economical prices that I've seen in

05:36 - 05:41

the history of life life pose at this

05:38 - 05:44

moment in time so and so far I like

05:41 - 05:46

everything they do here it's a it's a

05:44 - 05:49

very nice case it even has a case that

05:46 - 05:50

you can actually finagle the strap the

05:49 - 05:53

carrying strap out of it if you don't

05:50 - 05:56

want it on here at all you can it's just

05:53 - 05:59

got a nice little back and forth little

05:56 - 06:02

thing and then boom uh I just I just

05:59 - 06:05

really like what they got going on

06:02 - 06:08

here all the other batteries I've tested

06:05 - 06:10

um I was sponsored by another video on

06:08 - 06:11

another video by another battery company

06:10 - 06:13

you guys can go back in my videos and

06:11 - 06:15

watch that one

06:13 - 06:18

the difference between that one and this

06:15 - 06:20

one is they were the same cost this one

06:18 - 06:22

has Bluetooth that'll connect to your

06:20 - 06:24

phone where my other one didn't so

06:22 - 06:27

things just keep getting better and this

06:24 - 06:28

might be where it plateaus out and the

06:27 - 06:31

betterness and the price just stay there

06:28 - 06:34

for a long time so don't be afraid to

06:31 - 06:36

jump on it while the jumping's good can

06:34 - 06:38

you tell I'm excited about this one i

06:36 - 06:40

really am honestly am i don't know what

06:38 - 06:41

I don't know what's going to happen but

06:40 - 06:43

we're going to learn together and we're

06:41 - 06:45

going to find out together so just hang

06:43 - 06:47

in there like subscribe leave a comment

06:45 - 06:49

for me let me know what you think of

06:47 - 06:52

this type of

06:49 - 06:53

video okay folks it's the next night i

06:52 - 06:55

did a little playing around with this

06:53 - 06:58

battery last night just to get a little

06:55 - 07:00

famili more familiar with it and I ran

06:58 - 07:04

it down to about 96% was all and I'm

07:00 - 07:08

running this little Manota Endura it is

07:04 - 07:11

30 lb thrust 12 volts draws up to 30

07:08 - 07:12

amps at speed number five now let me get

07:11 - 07:15

you in a little closer to show you what

07:12 - 07:17

I've got set up here so last night I

07:15 - 07:19

plugged in the old charger here that

07:17 - 07:22

they sent me see the green light there

07:19 - 07:23

it flashes red when it's charging goes

07:22 - 07:25

green when it's fully charged so we got

07:23 - 07:28

a fully charged battery

07:25 - 07:31

here so we're going to unplug that we've

07:28 - 07:34

got this wired with the

07:31 - 07:37

factory wiring for this manota i've got

07:34 - 07:38

little bungee cords here on this snout

07:37 - 07:42

this has got

07:38 - 07:45

the telescoping handle for some

07:42 - 07:48

reach but it has five speeds forward and

07:45 - 07:50

five and three speeds in

07:48 - 07:54

reverse and as you can see here I've got

07:50 - 07:55

the test tank full of water clean

07:54 - 07:58

water

07:55 - 08:01

and I'm able to run that

07:58 - 08:03

thing and you guys can hear it turning

08:01 - 08:06

the water back there where you can't

08:03 - 08:08

hardly see it's just making the water

08:06 - 08:10

boil

08:08 - 08:14

that's running at speed number

08:10 - 08:15

five now I want to show you what it's

08:14 - 08:18

doing on the

08:15 - 08:21

application the Bluetooth app so we're

08:18 - 08:24

going to pull up the Enjoybot app at

08:21 - 08:24

Enjoybot

08:25 - 08:30

app and you're going to look at it here

08:27 - 08:32

where it shows it's 100%

08:30 - 08:35

charged see if I can get that in here

08:32 - 08:38

nice and clear 100% charged and it's

08:35 - 08:41

showing no activity so when you got

08:38 - 08:44

activity this electric and it's got the

08:41 - 08:47

amperage draw so this thing this battery

08:44 - 08:49

charger puts out

08:47 - 08:52

uh up to 29 volts it can charge a 24volt

08:49 - 08:56

system but it will also charge just 12

08:52 - 08:59

volts or 29 volt 24vt system it puts out

08:56 - 09:02

about 3 amps that means it'll put in 3

08:59 - 09:05

amps per hour back into the battery so

09:02 - 09:08

say you are down 9 amps it would take 3

09:05 - 09:11

hours to put you know 9 amp hours back

09:08 - 09:12

in so what I was playing around with

09:11 - 09:15

last night if I took this put this on

09:12 - 09:18

number one so the speed on the trolling

09:15 - 09:20

motor is on number one it's currently

09:18 - 09:24

showing it

09:20 - 09:26

drawing 8.48 amps is what it's currently

09:24 - 09:29

drawing off that battery that's kind of

09:26 - 09:32

cool this little app is letting you see

09:29 - 09:35

what's going on inside here behind Oz's

09:32 - 09:37

curtain as it were and if we go to speed

09:35 - 09:37

number

09:39 - 09:45

two

09:41 - 09:49

10.79 so let's just say there's 80 amp

09:45 - 09:51

hours before this thing goes to the BMS

09:49 - 09:53

says "Nope we're shutting it down so we

09:51 - 09:55

don't ruin ourselves."

09:53 - 09:58

That would run on speed two which is

09:55 - 10:01

pushing a lot of water still not near as

09:58 - 10:03

much as five but it would run you know

10:01 - 10:06

eight hours now I'm going to take this

10:03 - 10:08

all the way up to number five here and

10:06 - 10:13

you can hear it boiling the

10:08 - 10:16

water this is saying it's drawing 34.76

10:13 - 10:18

amps let's see if I can make sure I can

10:16 - 10:19

see that in the camera there so right

10:18 - 10:24

over

10:19 - 10:24

here so you can see the amperage

10:26 - 10:31

draw now the reason I have this thing

10:29 - 10:32

fastened up with the bungee cords is

10:31 - 10:35

because I don't want this to get

10:32 - 10:36

sideways in here for some reason and

10:35 - 10:38

I've got these cranked down against my

10:36 - 10:41

This is my test that I use for my gas

10:38 - 10:43

motors as well uh it's clean right now

10:41 - 10:46

there's nothing in it but clear clear

10:43 - 10:48

water i filled it up last night and this

10:46 - 10:50

is my winter check and normally I could

10:48 - 10:51

I'd run the vent over here but I'm not

10:50 - 10:53

running any gas so I don't have to do

10:51 - 10:55

that what we're going to do is we're

10:53 - 10:58

going to put this on speed two so it

10:55 - 11:01

draws 8 amps as you just saw on speed or

10:58 - 11:03

no 10 amps it sh draws 10 amps at the

11:01 - 11:07

number two speed we're going to go over

11:03 - 11:07

here and start the top the

11:07 - 11:13

clock and we're going to track as to how

11:11 - 11:16

long is this going to

11:13 - 11:18

run see if I can get my footing back

11:16 - 11:21

over here a couple things in my way so

11:18 - 11:23

we got the clock here we're going to go

11:21 - 11:23

uh

11:24 - 11:29

reset and hit

11:26 - 11:34

go and there we got the just one hour a

11:29 - 11:34

day clock do what makes you

11:34 - 11:39

happy doing stuff like this makes me

11:36 - 11:39

very

11:39 - 11:44

happy let's get you back on the stand

11:41 - 11:44

here

11:52 - 11:56

and here again I'm trying to I'm trying

11:54 - 11:59

to do some stuff here that would happen

11:56 - 12:02

in real life that you might troll all

11:59 - 12:04

day and it the two power might be just

12:02 - 12:07

enough power to troll and catch them big

12:04 - 12:10

mouth fish you've been looking for now

12:07 - 12:14

just that little bit I just did it's

12:10 - 12:16

down to 99% battery it's currently

12:14 - 12:19

drawing grab go around here so I can see

12:16 - 12:22

with you 10.5

12:19 - 12:23

amps 10.4 there's also some other stuff

12:22 - 12:25

you hit

12:23 - 12:28

temperature and when you scroll up you

12:25 - 12:29

can see the temperature of the BMS and

12:28 - 12:33

you can see the temperature of the

12:29 - 12:34

battery itself you go down here and it

12:33 - 12:37

shows you I think these are all the

12:34 - 12:40

cells type of cells in the battery so

12:37 - 12:43

you got four 3volt

12:40 - 12:47

cells to make out your 12 volts and it

12:43 - 12:49

kind of shows what's going on there now

12:47 - 12:50

I'd be lying if I said I knew exactly

12:49 - 12:52

what that meant some of you out there

12:50 - 12:55

are probably smarter than me but we're

12:52 - 12:58

currently draw 10 amps we're currently a

12:55 - 12:59

minute 20 30 seconds into the test we're

12:58 - 13:02

going to let this I predict this will

12:59 - 13:05

run all night with ease it is currently

13:02 - 13:08

Yeah as you can see here on the phone

13:05 - 13:11

we'll time stamp it right now

13:08 - 13:14

9:25 p.m we're going to come back in the

13:11 - 13:17

morning and see where we're at you know

13:14 - 13:18

let's say it's 9 now by 5 in the morning

13:17 - 13:21

you know that amount of time of ours

13:18 - 13:24

would pass and we'll see exactly how

13:21 - 13:25

this battery is doing over the overnight

13:24 - 13:27

this is just one of the tests I want to

13:25 - 13:30

do i'm also going to put two of these

13:27 - 13:31

together because I had them send me two

13:30 - 13:33

because that's where most of you guys

13:31 - 13:35

are out there running a 24volt trolling

13:33 - 13:39

motor system and I'm going to show you

13:35 - 13:42

what it does on my Manota 24VT system at

13:39 - 13:46

the trolling motor run at at uh uh speed

13:42 - 13:48

number five of 10 possible speeds uh and

13:46 - 13:50

the other cool thing I'll be able to

13:48 - 13:53

know now is exactly how many amps this

13:50 - 13:55

thing will draw at top speed and at the

13:53 - 13:58

speed that I say would troll at was

13:55 - 14:00

speed five or six uh and we'd also be

13:58 - 14:02

able to see how long it runs and you're

14:00 - 14:04

going to know exactly how many amps it

14:02 - 14:07

draws at least you'll know roughly with

14:04 - 14:09

a 12vt trolling motor 5-speed 30 amp

14:07 - 14:13

system you know you can kind of figure

14:09 - 14:15

out how long can you fish before

14:13 - 14:18

you're completely out of

14:15 - 14:20

battery so right now it's still drawing

14:18 - 14:21

9.64

14:20 - 14:25

9.73

14:21 - 14:27

9.54 so which is pretty darn cool this

14:25 - 14:30

is stuff I've never been able to see

14:27 - 14:31

before this thing will protect itself

14:30 - 14:34

with the BMS that's in it it will

14:31 - 14:37

protect itself and not let you draw down

14:34 - 14:37

more than it's

14:38 - 14:43

allowed see standard discharge current

14:41 - 14:47

on this battery is 20 amps maximum

14:43 - 14:50

continuous discharge current is 100 amps

14:47 - 14:52

so 100 amp hour battery at at 100 amps

14:50 - 14:56

would last you 1 hour uh charging

14:52 - 14:58

voltage 14 to.6 let's see normal voltage

14:56 - 15:00

nominal capacity 100 amp hour watt hour

14:58 - 15:03

1280 watts

15:00 - 15:08

um what else is kind of fun here

15:03 - 15:10

operating temperature -4 to 131° so this

15:08 - 15:13

battery being a low temperature battery

15:10 - 15:16

a lot of these life life don't like low

15:13 - 15:19

temperatures this one is set up to

15:16 - 15:20

thrive in low temperatures -4 i'm not

15:19 - 15:22

going to be out in the water if it's

15:20 - 15:26

neg4 but you can understand if you're in

15:22 - 15:27

40°ree weather 30 degree weather and how

15:26 - 15:31

your other batteries may perform against

15:27 - 15:31

this particular battery

15:31 - 15:36

but uh so yeah this is I'm just I'm

15:34 - 15:38

loving what I got here i'm loving what

15:36 - 15:41

they're presenting uh it says store at

15:38 - 15:45

50%

15:41 - 15:49

capacity and recharge every 3 months so

15:45 - 15:52

basically if you're at 50% or 50%

15:49 - 15:55

uh capacity you can let it sit for 3

15:52 - 15:57

months and charge it up and it'll it'll

15:55 - 16:00

manage itself now the other thing it's

15:57 - 16:02

got here is cycle index i am pretty sure

16:00 - 16:04

this is on cycle one that I'm working on

16:02 - 16:06

right now and as you discharge and

16:04 - 16:09

charge those will be the cycles and on

16:06 - 16:13

here I think I saw it where did I see it

16:09 - 16:17

yeah cycle life greater than 4,000

16:13 - 16:21

cycles 4,000 cycles so if we ran this

16:17 - 16:23

down and up every day 4,000 times and

16:21 - 16:28

this is every day

16:23 - 16:34

folks so you take your 4,000

16:28 - 16:34

uh Yeah divided by 365

16:36 - 16:39

days is that right

16:39 - 16:49

10 10 years that is 10.95 years so

16:46 - 16:52

10,000 cycles divided by if you do it

16:49 - 16:57

every day divided by

16:52 - 16:59

uh 365 days that is 10.95 years that's

16:57 - 17:03

why these things have a 10year warranty

16:59 - 17:05

on them and now let's just pretend just

17:03 - 17:06

for fun because it's going to get crazy

17:05 - 17:09

these are going to be some crazy numbers

17:06 - 17:10

here say you run it twice a weekend

17:09 - 17:13

that's

17:10 - 17:16

52 you know or every weekend of the year

17:13 - 17:21

year round every weekend it's 52 weeks

17:16 - 17:23

in a year times 2 is 104 hours 104

17:21 - 17:27

uh days I'm sorry so now we're going to

17:23 - 17:30

take that same 4,000 divided by what did

17:27 - 17:30

I just say

17:32 - 17:36

104 38

17:36 - 17:43

years and these cost 40 or these two

17:41 - 17:44

batteries would cost you $400 plus a

17:43 - 17:46

charger let's just say you're going to

17:44 - 17:50

have $650

17:46 - 17:54

invested so $650 divided by 38

17:50 - 17:58

years it's going to cost you

17:54 - 18:00

$7 a year to own something like this now

17:58 - 18:04

can it get much more reasonable than

18:00 - 18:06

that no you're and and your lead acid

18:04 - 18:09

batteries aren't going to last that long

18:06 - 18:10

they won't they just absolutely will not

18:09 - 18:13

they'll last you a little while they

18:10 - 18:14

will not last you 10 years and not

18:13 - 18:16

perform at a level and give you the

18:14 - 18:18

information you

18:16 - 18:21

desire on your

18:18 - 18:24

battery yep we're still drawing 9.35

18:21 - 18:28

9.45 we're at 98% right now and we're

18:24 - 18:29

just right around 7 minutes in so I'm

18:28 - 18:31

really curious to see what we're going

18:29 - 18:32

to see tomorrow morning to see how well

18:31 - 18:35

this thing is working and how well it's

18:32 - 18:36

performing we'll see you back early in

18:35 - 18:38

the morning tomorrow morning with

18:36 - 18:41

another update in the meantime while

18:38 - 18:43

this is doing stuff tomorrow I'll be

18:41 - 18:46

doing other stuff to give you guys some

18:43 - 18:48

more viewing pleasures here on Michael's

18:46 - 18:48

Backyard

18:49 - 18:54

Marina checking in the next

18:56 - 19:03

morning we have 9 hours and 37 minutes

18:59 - 19:05

and 55 seconds on the clock we are

19:03 - 19:07

having what I would call very

19:05 - 19:11

predictable outcomes 100 amp hour

19:07 - 19:15

battery pulling at it's now pulling uh

19:11 - 19:17

9.05 we were running up at 10 uh volts

19:15 - 19:20

or 10 amps of draw last night when I

19:17 - 19:22

first fired this up we're at 8.96 amps

19:20 - 19:25

of draw and as you can see now the

19:22 - 19:29

battery is at

19:25 - 19:31

13% life left it's down in the red zone

19:29 - 19:34

it's doing the cycle index now has

19:31 - 19:38

clicked over to two means there's two

19:34 - 19:41

cycles that means we only have

19:38 - 19:44

3,998 cycles

19:41 - 19:46

left we still have over 10 years worth

19:44 - 19:49

of life left in this battery of usage is

19:46 - 19:51

what I'm saying some of the key points

19:49 - 19:53

that Enjoy Bot wanted me to talk about

19:51 - 19:57

on this one is this battery boasted only

19:53 - 20:00

weighs 23 lbs it is also a group 31

19:57 - 20:02

battery so it will seamlessly fit in the

20:00 - 20:04

place where your other 30 group 31

20:02 - 20:06

batteries will fit into so they've made

20:04 - 20:08

these not just be the side any size they

20:06 - 20:10

wanted it they made these the size to

20:08 - 20:13

replace lead acid batteries it also has

20:10 - 20:15

the cold weather cut off to protect

20:13 - 20:17

itself now this has you know low

20:15 - 20:21

temperature and it says up here you know

20:17 - 20:23

down to -4° to 131° so it also has a hot

20:21 - 20:25

temperature protect as well normally in

20:23 - 20:28

a boat that's not a problem because it's

20:25 - 20:30

in your usually in a box in your boat

20:28 - 20:32

and the sun's not directly shining on it

20:30 - 20:34

or it's under a seat or something like

20:32 - 20:36

that so that's not a big deal uh

20:34 - 20:38

seamless integration with your current

20:36 - 20:40

lead acid stuff the only thing you will

20:38 - 20:43

have to do different is battery charger

20:40 - 20:45

you want a battery charger that charges

20:43 - 20:48

and manages these charge or batteries

20:45 - 20:49

like this i have seen some people and

20:48 - 20:51

I'm not sure it's the right thing to do

20:49 - 20:54

i haven't done it so please leave

20:51 - 20:56

comments below using a regular battery

20:54 - 20:59

charger to charge one of these batteries

20:56 - 21:02

i'm not sure that's a great idea i like

20:59 - 21:05

to match now this is my personal opinion

21:02 - 21:08

because I like to charge my batteries

21:05 - 21:09

with a lithium battery charger the

21:08 - 21:11

battery chargers and that's what they

21:09 - 21:14

provided me here was a charging

21:11 - 21:17

indicator by Enjoy Bot is smart

21:14 - 21:21

waterproof lithium battery

21:17 - 21:26

charger a model

21:21 - 21:29

EB-29 about 100 uh volts in uh 6 amps

21:26 - 21:31

max uh and when it says 6 amps max it's

21:29 - 21:33

because this is can charge up to 29

21:31 - 21:35

volts so if you have two volts two

21:33 - 21:37

batteries hooked in series that's 24

21:35 - 21:40

volts it will charge that and it will

21:37 - 21:42

put out 6 amps it only puts out 3 amps

21:40 - 21:44

when you hook it up to one battery and 3

21:42 - 21:47

amps means 3 amps it will build up per

21:44 - 21:49

hour so if I'm down to 50 amps in 1 hour

21:47 - 21:52

it will be at 53 amps at 2 hours it will

21:49 - 21:54

be at 56 amps pretty straightforward

21:52 - 21:57

stuff i'm just giving you what I know

21:54 - 21:59

folks but I I am very tickled with how

21:57 - 22:02

this is performing now right now I'm

21:59 - 22:02

going to go ahead and crank this up

22:03 - 22:08

to you can hear

22:05 - 22:12

that she goes right back to turn into

22:08 - 22:16

water she's kicking out 31.53 amps right

22:12 - 22:16

now is what it's drawing

22:16 - 22:21

now the beauty of having one of this app

22:18 - 22:23

on your phone is you're out on the lake

22:21 - 22:24

you've been trolling around and you're

22:23 - 22:27

kind of going "Man do I have enough

22:24 - 22:31

battery to get through

22:27 - 22:33

tomorrow?" Now you know now you know i

22:31 - 22:34

am that's why down to 12% now we're

22:33 - 22:38

putting some serious pull on it right

22:34 - 22:40

now we're closing in on the 10hour mark

22:38 - 22:42

which I predicted i was kind of thinking

22:40 - 22:46

if you got the full 100 amp hours at

22:42 - 22:48

your disposal drawing at roughly 10 amps

22:46 - 22:51

you'll have 10 hours of run

22:48 - 22:54

time and that was at level two so

22:51 - 22:55

amperage draw something you don't know

22:54 - 22:57

about your trolling motor right now is

22:55 - 23:00

how many amps it draws at each speed you

22:57 - 23:03

run it in you have a 10-speed uh

23:00 - 23:03

trolling motor this is a

23:05 - 23:10

five-speed if you have a 10-speed

23:07 - 23:12

trolling motor like mine goes from zero

23:10 - 23:15

half one one and a half two two and a

23:12 - 23:17

half three you got literally 20 speeds

23:15 - 23:18

and you want to know I'm trolling out

23:17 - 23:21

here and I'm looking like I'm having to

23:18 - 23:23

hold I'm trying to troll at 1.8 miles an

23:21 - 23:26

hour and I've got my uh trolling motor

23:23 - 23:27

set on cruise control yes those some of

23:26 - 23:29

these trolling motors like I have have

23:27 - 23:32

cruise control you can set the speed on

23:29 - 23:33

them and it will maintain that speed it

23:32 - 23:36

will take it up and down automatically

23:33 - 23:40

to maintain a certain heading and and or

23:36 - 23:43

follow a path and maintain the speed at

23:40 - 23:44

that setting it'll go up and down

23:43 - 23:46

whatever you set the trolling motor

23:44 - 23:48

miles per hour at that you you know want

23:46 - 23:50

to troll sometimes you're going against

23:48 - 23:51

the wind it's nice when you set that

23:50 - 23:54

cruise control it'll put out the juice

23:51 - 23:56

but the nice thing about this bad boy is

23:54 - 23:57

it will tell you how much juice it's

23:56 - 23:59

drawing it will tell you how much

23:57 - 24:02

battery life you have left there will be

23:59 - 24:02

no

24:03 - 24:07

question about what's going on now

24:06 - 24:09

another factor I want to bring up to you

24:07 - 24:12

that I find very important to understand

24:09 - 24:15

about these batteries is I've got a

24:12 - 24:17

Manota Altera it's one of those that you

24:15 - 24:19

hit the button and it

24:17 - 24:22

goes it's all

24:19 - 24:25

automatic well on a lead acid battery

24:22 - 24:27

you have some warning let's call it uh

24:25 - 24:30

it will not go into cruise control

24:27 - 24:32

anymore it won't do certain features it

24:30 - 24:34

won't do spot lock it won't do certain

24:32 - 24:37

things when the lead acid batteries it

24:34 - 24:39

the trolling motor detects it's too low

24:37 - 24:42

and it's protecting itself to do some of

24:39 - 24:44

these fancy features and then all it

24:42 - 24:46

will let you do is it'll have enough

24:44 - 24:49

energy to stow it away for you because

24:46 - 24:51

those type of uh trolling motors are

24:49 - 24:53

hard i wouldn't I haven't even thought

24:51 - 24:54

about how I would stow it away if it's

24:53 - 24:56

sticking down in the water how I'm going

24:54 - 24:58

to get my boat back on a trailer when

24:56 - 25:01

this thing's sticking down in the water

24:58 - 25:04

i'm just saying with

25:01 - 25:05

this and and what what these type of

25:04 - 25:06

batteries will do if you got your

25:05 - 25:08

cordless drills and stuff like that

25:06 - 25:11

you'll notice they'll go and they have

25:08 - 25:13

power right up to the boom they don't

25:11 - 25:16

and that's my worry on my one Manota

25:13 - 25:19

Altera on one of my boats is that it

25:16 - 25:22

will just

25:19 - 25:23

die now I think if you let these sit for

25:22 - 25:26

a lot while they'll kind of

25:23 - 25:29

like releance it might give you enough

25:26 - 25:31

juice to fire it up and stow it away but

25:29 - 25:32

if you're if you're getting close to

25:31 - 25:34

dark and you're wanting to get off the

25:32 - 25:37

water and you want to get you don't have

25:34 - 25:39

a lot of time to wait having this app on

25:37 - 25:43

your phone will tell you how close

25:39 - 25:45

you're getting to hey buddy we're done

25:43 - 25:47

and uh so that I'm just I can't say

25:45 - 25:49

enough about having a Bluetooth

25:47 - 25:52

connected now the other thing I want you

25:49 - 25:54

guys to understand is

25:52 - 25:57

that there's links in the description

25:54 - 25:59

down below there are discount codes down

25:57 - 26:01

in the description below there's an

25:59 - 26:03

Amazon link that takes you to an Amazon

26:01 - 26:05

link that's affiliated with Enjoybot

26:03 - 26:07

there's their website you can go to that

26:05 - 26:09

you can put the promotion codes in that

26:07 - 26:12

I'm going to have down below that will

26:09 - 26:15

take you to the uh uh give you the

26:12 - 26:16

discounts when you place your order uh I

26:15 - 26:20

played around with a little bit you can

26:16 - 26:23

save you buy uh put the

26:20 - 26:26

MBM10 as it were on discount code which

26:23 - 26:28

I think will let them know that they the

26:26 - 26:31

purchase came from me I think maybe but

26:28 - 26:35

you get $10 off so and these are running

26:31 - 26:39

about 213 to 223 if you buy two

26:35 - 26:41

batteries in a kit two battery bundle

26:39 - 26:43

you get a deeper you get more uh a

26:41 - 26:46

cheaper price for the battery and then

26:43 - 26:48

you still get the $10 off now the other

26:46 - 26:50

thing I want to say is they also have

26:48 - 26:53

24volt

26:50 - 26:54

batteries 100 amp hour 24volt battery so

26:53 - 26:57

you have one battery it's a little bit

26:54 - 26:59

bigger a little bit different size it

26:57 - 27:01

might not be a group 31 battery so they

26:59 - 27:03

designed those to have applications that

27:01 - 27:04

if you have the space to put one of

27:03 - 27:07

those batteries and you got one battery

27:04 - 27:10

to manage versus two batteries to manage

27:07 - 27:12

now obviously the the 24volt battery is

27:10 - 27:14

going to cost more than you know or

27:12 - 27:16

around the same price as two 12 volts it

27:14 - 27:18

actually may even be a little cheaper

27:16 - 27:20

get on go on follow the links and go

27:18 - 27:23

check it out so we're going to let this

27:20 - 27:25

continue to run we're at 9 hours and 47

27:23 - 27:29

minutes now and we're at

27:25 - 27:32

12% and it's still pulling 8.96 amps

27:29 - 27:32

battery temp still running

27:34 - 27:38

69.8° and in my shop right over here

27:37 - 27:41

where the thermostat's over here it's

27:38 - 27:43

running 66 degrees in the shop so it's

27:41 - 27:46

barely generating any heat at all with

27:43 - 27:50

the draw that it's been asked to

27:46 - 27:52

pull so the cool part is uh we're going

27:50 - 27:54

to flip over after this segment here

27:52 - 27:56

when this thing actually gives up we're

27:54 - 27:57

going to flip over to the next segment

27:56 - 27:58

i've got to recharge the battery

27:57 - 28:01

obviously because I only have the two

27:58 - 28:02

batteries i got to recharge the battery

28:01 - 28:05

and bring it back up so it matches the

28:02 - 28:08

other battery and then I'm put them in

28:05 - 28:09

my boat I call the banana which has a

28:08 - 28:11

24volt trolling motor that's where these

28:09 - 28:15

things will live and you be used from

28:11 - 28:16

now on uh I will run the same water test

28:15 - 28:18

i got a barrel I'll bring inside here

28:16 - 28:19

we'll put it in the water we'll run the

28:18 - 28:21

same test and the cool part is I'm going

28:19 - 28:23

to be able to show you guys so please

28:21 - 28:25

hang please hang around if you haven't i

28:23 - 28:29

mean don't don't just hang on if you're

28:25 - 28:32

seeing the video that means Enjoybot has

28:29 - 28:34

all already won and already has met my

28:32 - 28:38

approvals you guys know me i don't

28:34 - 28:41

promote or do anything that I don't

28:38 - 28:45

approve and or use i've had I get

28:41 - 28:47

literally probably five to eight uh

28:45 - 28:50

collaboration offers through in my email

28:47 - 28:53

a week minimum between both channels

28:50 - 28:55

it's probably a little more actually but

28:53 - 28:56

I only do things that fit my channel

28:55 - 29:00

that fit my audience and that that will

28:56 - 29:02

help you guys and that I approve of so

29:00 - 29:04

uh not all videos are sponsored videos

29:02 - 29:06

this one will be sponsored by Enjoybot

29:04 - 29:07

obviously and I also let people know

29:06 - 29:08

that when I'm in doing the reviews of

29:07 - 29:11

their stuff if your stuff doesn't

29:08 - 29:14

measure up to my expectations you won't

29:11 - 29:16

get a video and I will not return your

29:14 - 29:19

product and I will not sign a contract

29:16 - 29:20

with these particular uh people i let

29:19 - 29:22

them know that upfront if you don't

29:20 - 29:25

trust me don't do business with me watch

29:22 - 29:27

my videos you know who I am and so I'm

29:25 - 29:28

just letting you know and all of you

29:27 - 29:30

they get entertainment out of that and

29:46 - 29:51

they also learn from those and we all

29:48 - 29:52

learn as a community i got like I said I

29:51 - 29:56

got the best subscribers out there in

29:52 - 30:00

the world uh this thing's still going

29:56 - 30:02

and having fun and we're still 11% it's

30:00 - 30:03

winding down little by little we're

30:02 - 30:06

closing in i think it's going to go over

30:03 - 30:09

10 hours at this rate and it's still

30:06 - 30:13

pulling 8 point 8 8.67 amps doing its

30:09 - 30:16

thing man I am stoked i am stoked i

30:13 - 30:17

almost this morning when I went online

30:16 - 30:19

and was looking at the website a little

30:17 - 30:21

deeper checking out the discount codes

30:19 - 30:25

to make sure everything was

30:21 - 30:28

uh working like it should be i almost

30:25 - 30:32

bought two more i'm not lying and I have

30:28 - 30:35

other life po batteries that in my life

30:32 - 30:39

but I almost bought two more because the

30:35 - 30:42

Bluetooth on this in my brain and this

30:39 - 30:44

is me geeking out a little bit is a game

30:42 - 30:46

changer all right we'll check back in

30:44 - 30:49

with you when this is dead let you know

30:46 - 30:51

exactly what it did for performance and

30:49 - 30:54

then we're going to jump me it's going

30:51 - 30:57

to take days for you guys it's going to

30:54 - 30:59

take seconds to see what's going to

30:57 - 31:00

happen on the banana boat so you got to

30:59 - 31:03

hang around to see what happens on the

31:00 - 31:05

banana because I am stoked to learn more

31:03 - 31:09

information about how my trolling motor

31:05 - 31:11

acts through battery amperage draw all

31:09 - 31:14

right we'll be back after a bit the

31:11 - 31:18

battery is DE A

31:14 - 31:20

dead 0% we're just over 12 hours of time

31:18 - 31:23

i stopped the

31:20 - 31:24

clock just happened i came in here there

31:23 - 31:27

it was running and then all of a sudden

31:24 - 31:30

it wasn't running the impeller stopped

31:27 - 31:35

it won't do anything at all now it's

31:30 - 31:38

just it's just done but your 100 amp

31:35 - 31:40

hours you get a full 100 amp hours worth

31:38 - 31:43

of of of time out of it we were drawing

31:40 - 31:47

a little over uh right

31:43 - 31:48

at 9 point something amps to start with

31:47 - 31:50

I think at the beginning beginning of

31:48 - 31:51

this when I started i'm trying to

31:50 - 31:54

remember going off memory now but anyway

31:51 - 31:59

you divide that you should easily get 10

31:54 - 32:02

hours we got 12 hours this thing was at

31:59 - 32:05

0% and it ran another half hour at 0%

32:02 - 32:07

battery and I could still when I cranked

32:05 - 32:11

it up to five speed five

32:07 - 32:15

here i was actually able to get

32:11 - 32:16

uh 27 it still pulled 27 amps then I

32:15 - 32:18

turned it back down to two again and let

32:16 - 32:20

it run but it's done everything it was

32:18 - 32:22

supposed to do we're on our second cycle

32:20 - 32:25

here i've just plugged the charger back

32:22 - 32:28

in we're gonna get the charger

32:25 - 32:32

um charging and bring this battery back

32:28 - 32:34

up so I can start my next test so and

32:32 - 32:38

it's holding right now it's 11.1 volts

32:34 - 32:40

left in the battery no amperage left uh

32:38 - 32:42

it the BMS has done what it's done it's

32:40 - 32:45

protected the battery it's shut itself

32:42 - 32:49

down it is letting

32:45 - 32:52

um letting the battery survive as you

32:49 - 32:54

can see down here the bottom cells each

32:52 - 32:59

of the cells in the battery are down to

32:54 - 33:01

around 2.8 2.9 2.6 2.6 volts then you

32:59 - 33:03

can do you can do balancing on here as

33:01 - 33:05

well you can go to here and you can hit

33:03 - 33:07

autobalance and are you sure you want to

33:05 - 33:09

autobalance and you can autobalance

33:07 - 33:11

those cells it'll go through and do that

33:09 - 33:16

for you through your through the

33:11 - 33:16

software here as well pretty cool

33:24 - 33:33

[Music]

33:33 - 33:38

all right what do we got happening right

33:35 - 33:41

now i've got the water tank in here in

33:38 - 33:46

the shop filling up with water

33:41 - 33:48

so we got resistance on the Manota

33:46 - 33:50

uh power drive then I've got the two

33:48 - 33:53

orange top batteries i took the these

33:50 - 33:57

two batteries out of my boat i've got

33:53 - 33:59

the two Enjoy bot batteries in the boat

33:57 - 34:03

i've currently

33:59 - 34:06

got them charging now I'm going to show

34:03 - 34:08

you two different things here so you've

34:06 - 34:10

seen the charger that I've got from

34:08 - 34:14

Enjoy themselves

34:10 - 34:14

and now I'm going to show you some stuff

34:15 - 34:21

[Music]

34:17 - 34:23

on so I got one battery here that is

34:21 - 34:25

taking a little bit of a charge now the

34:23 - 34:28

batteries that I've got charger I've got

34:25 - 34:30

in here is a 5 amp hour battery

34:28 - 34:34

charger as you can see the one battery

34:30 - 34:36

is taking 5.1 amps right now and then if

34:34 - 34:41

I look at the other

34:36 - 34:41

battery it'll pop up here in a second

34:43 - 34:46

it's fully charged it's not taking any

34:44 - 34:50

amperage it wasn't It was a little bit

34:46 - 34:51

ago and all I'm And if you look Yeah

34:50 - 34:53

it's getting really close it's getting

34:51 - 34:56

really close let me show you my charger

34:53 - 35:00

here now if you look at the

34:56 - 35:02

charger as you can see this one's solid

35:00 - 35:05

green and that's the one that's fully

35:02 - 35:08

charged and this one here is got the

35:05 - 35:10

three lights and then it's green it's

35:08 - 35:12

not far from being fully charged once

35:10 - 35:13

again this is my starter battery it's

35:12 - 35:16

fully

35:13 - 35:20

charged so and this is a threebank

35:16 - 35:22

charger it does lipos AGMs and regular

35:20 - 35:24

lead acid so I got these two blue set

35:22 - 35:26

for lipo this one's set for lead acid

35:24 - 35:28

and uh this is my onboard charger so I

35:26 - 35:31

wanted to I showed you what it did with

35:28 - 35:33

their charger with the Enjoybot charger

35:31 - 35:35

all right cool it just stopped taking

35:33 - 35:39

amperage there as

35:35 - 35:39

well let's see here just double

35:39 - 35:43

check nope the one's still taking 4.3

35:42 - 35:46

that was the one that's fully charged so

35:43 - 35:49

it's still taking 4.3 we got our timer

35:46 - 35:52

over here oh it just there it just

35:49 - 35:54

clicked i just saw it go to green the

35:52 - 35:56

amperage that goes in is down at zero

35:54 - 35:58

we're ready to start the test let's

35:56 - 36:02

unplug the charger troller and motor is

35:58 - 36:05

now on but not running yet we're going

36:02 - 36:08

to go over here real quick and the top

36:05 - 36:10

timer up here here as you can see is 12

36:08 - 36:13

hours and 12 minutes that's what this

36:10 - 36:16

these batteries ran on a 30 amp draw

36:13 - 36:17

trolling motor i am currently not aware

36:16 - 36:20

what the top amperage draw is on this

36:17 - 36:22

particular trolling motor but I'll know

36:20 - 36:25

here shortly so I'm going to go ahead

36:22 - 36:25

and start the timer and we'll start

36:28 - 36:33

playing timer's running so we're going

36:31 - 36:35

to run this at a level that I ran the

36:33 - 36:37

last test at which was at setting five

36:35 - 36:39

this thing has all the way up to 10 on

36:37 - 36:40

this trolling motor we're going to set

36:39 - 36:45

it at five and see what it does all

36:40 - 36:47

right we're going to go ahead and

36:45 - 36:52

hit

36:47 - 36:56

on right now we're spinning at half so

36:52 - 37:02

just to give you an idea this has

36:56 - 37:06

half one one and 1/2 two 2 and 1/2 3 3

37:02 - 37:08

and 1/2 4 4 and 1/2 and

37:06 - 37:11

five so five is going to make a little

37:08 - 37:13

bit of a splashy noise and it's going to

37:11 - 37:15

splash out a little bit of water but it

37:13 - 37:18

won't get

37:15 - 37:21

crazy so right now we're running at five

37:18 - 37:21

setting five

37:22 - 37:26

i did this outside last time there's

37:24 - 37:29

going to be a there's going to be a

37:26 - 37:34

splash zone here so let's just see what

37:29 - 37:36

we're drawing so we're drawing 7.66 amps

37:34 - 37:36

on the one

37:41 - 37:45

battery

37:43 - 37:48

7.6

37:45 - 37:51

7.5 about the same so let's call it 7.5

37:48 - 37:54

now we're going to let this run run

37:51 - 37:55

continuous so now that we're running 7.5

37:54 - 37:58

we know that these batteries after that

37:55 - 38:01

one test these batteries will you have

37:58 - 38:02

the full 100 amp hours at your disposal

38:01 - 38:09

so if I

38:02 - 38:09

take the 100 amp hours 100 divided by

38:11 - 38:16

7.5 so let's see the math should work

38:14 - 38:18

out we're going to let this thing splish

38:16 - 38:21

splash

38:18 - 38:21

and uh have some

38:22 - 38:28

fun and uh we'll see you back here it's

38:25 - 38:30

currently 7:46 p.m all righty folks

38:28 - 38:32

we're checking in the next morning it's

38:30 - 38:37

been 10 hours and 48

38:32 - 38:37

minutes one battery is down to

38:39 - 38:45

28% the other battery is at

38:42 - 38:47

29% so we'll check back in and it's

38:45 - 38:50

still drawing 6 1/2

38:47 - 38:52

amps right now it burned up over half

38:50 - 38:55

the battery in 10 hours so I'm expecting

38:52 - 38:59

it not to be running when I get back hi

38:55 - 39:01

there folks and we're here to report in

38:59 - 39:02

i currently have the battery charger

39:01 - 39:05

plugged

39:02 - 39:07

in putting out five

39:05 - 39:09

amps according to it it should be

39:07 - 39:11

putting out 5 amps let's look at the

39:09 - 39:14

battery information and see what it says

39:11 - 39:18

then I got some news to tell you about

39:14 - 39:20

the Enjoybot batteries

39:18 - 39:22

so I took some pictures of some things

39:20 - 39:23

this morning cuz I didn't turn the

39:22 - 39:27

camera

39:23 - 39:28

on because I wanted to I didn't know

39:27 - 39:32

what the results were going to be but I

39:28 - 39:36

will tell you so I have right here that

39:32 - 39:42

the 12vt system put ran

39:36 - 39:45

for 12 hours just over 12 hours and then

39:42 - 39:48

the 24volt system pulling eight amps

39:45 - 39:50

because you still only have 100 amp 100

39:48 - 39:53

amp hours even if you're pulling 24

39:50 - 39:58

volts it's still only 100 amps

39:53 - 40:01

and I ran it was at 14.34 hours when I

39:58 - 40:06

should have only gotten 12 so 14.34

40:01 - 40:09

hours running at 8 amps draw uh I'm

40:06 - 40:12

pretty happy with that it's impossible

40:09 - 40:14

but that's so 14.34 hours was when one

40:12 - 40:17

battery had 3% left and the other

40:14 - 40:20

percent other battery had 4% left on it

40:17 - 40:22

before she went to zero so I don't know

40:20 - 40:25

exactly how many hours it ran but let's

40:22 - 40:28

just say it ran plenty enough i'm very

40:25 - 40:29

happy with how it performed uh what was

40:28 - 40:33

the other thing I was going to show you

40:29 - 40:35

right now let's go back to the battery

40:33 - 40:38

app and we'll just connect to one of

40:35 - 40:40

them it doesn't matter what so as you

40:38 - 40:43

can see in this right where my thumb's

40:40 - 40:43

at

40:44 - 40:50

4.9 five you hit five there it's putting

40:47 - 40:52

the 5 amp hour charge is putting 5 amps

40:50 - 40:55

in it it's already gotten two% built

40:52 - 40:57

back up in that battery and the other

40:55 - 40:59

battery will do something very similar

40:57 - 41:02

i'm almost positive of it yeah it's

40:59 - 41:04

getting it's taking 5.3 amps right now

41:02 - 41:06

and it's up to 2%

41:04 - 41:09

so and there again just pretty straight

41:06 - 41:11

math uh if you want to and this is just

41:09 - 41:14

a little less than the lipos or lifo

41:11 - 41:16

batteries like this one the amp hours

41:14 - 41:18

are the amp hours this is when you have

41:16 - 41:20

100 amp hour battery it should get 100

41:18 - 41:22

amp hours worth it let you get the full

41:20 - 41:25

amp hours so if you have something that

41:22 - 41:26

draws 10 amps it's going and 100 amp

41:25 - 41:29

hour battery it's going to run you 10

41:26 - 41:31

hours that's all there is to it and if

41:29 - 41:34

you're say for instance you're you're

41:31 - 41:38

doing fishing and you're going to burn

41:34 - 41:40

down two batteries in a 8 hour 9 hour 10

41:38 - 41:42

hour fishing day these only went 14

41:40 - 41:44

hours and I shouldn't say only 14 hours

41:42 - 41:47

they went 14 hours that's pretty good

41:44 - 41:50

that's running at speed five continuous

41:47 - 41:51

and like this here I'll be curious when

41:50 - 41:53

I get it out on the boat and I'll report

41:51 - 41:57

out when I get on the boat this summer

41:53 - 42:00

that I will be able to see what it does

41:57 - 42:02

when I put it in uh anchor mode where it

42:00 - 42:04

just sits there and runs and it's going

42:02 - 42:06

to draw so little amps there even on

42:04 - 42:09

windy days when it's trying to hold the

42:06 - 42:10

boat in position it doesn't draw that

42:09 - 42:12

many amps it's just you can see it you

42:10 - 42:14

can tell you can tell when something's

42:12 - 42:17

working hard versus when it's not now

42:14 - 42:19

the one thing you want to be aware of is

42:17 - 42:21

buy your battery charger according to

42:19 - 42:24

your fishing habits say for instance you

42:21 - 42:25

go out and you take these 100 amp hour

42:24 - 42:28

batteries down to

42:25 - 42:31

20% and you only have a 5 amp hour

42:28 - 42:35

battery that's 80 amps left

42:31 - 42:38

right yeah 80 amps so you take your five

42:35 - 42:40

amp hour charger into 80 what do you get

42:38 - 42:42

so that just think of that in mind if

42:40 - 42:44

you want to get it back up to speed you

42:42 - 42:48

probably need a 10 amp charger to charge

42:44 - 42:50

it back up in 8 hours so make sure you

42:48 - 42:52

buy your battery charger according to

42:50 - 42:55

your fishing or your battery use do you

42:52 - 42:58

need to flip it back over and run it

42:55 - 43:01

again and get it uh be back on the water

42:58 - 43:04

with full battery capacity

43:01 - 43:05

uh every day so now the other thing I

43:04 - 43:07

want you to see here the nice thing is

43:05 - 43:10

it keeps track of the cycle so we're on

43:07 - 43:12

cycle two

43:10 - 43:13

on the one battery and I bet we're on

43:12 - 43:15

cycle three on the other one because the

43:13 - 43:19

other one I used to test the 12vt oh no

43:15 - 43:23

i'm on cycle four on the other

43:19 - 43:24

one we're on cycle four on the other one

43:23 - 43:26

so this is still keeping track of the

43:24 - 43:28

cycles which is kind of awesome because

43:26 - 43:30

you know exactly what kind of battery

43:28 - 43:34

life you're going to end up

43:30 - 43:36

with and there again four cycles out of

43:34 - 43:39

4,000 now you think "Oh Michael you just

43:36 - 43:42

wasted some of your cycles." Sure did

43:39 - 43:43

you betcha but I did it for you guys and

43:42 - 43:47

so you get educated and you learn and

43:43 - 43:50

you know what's going on now so let's

43:47 - 43:52

just say we do we repeat what I've done

43:50 - 43:55

over and over again now keep in mind

43:52 - 43:57

I've ran these things for 14 hours and

43:55 - 44:00

12 hours on the one battery 14 hours

43:57 - 44:04

after that and uh I've gotten two

44:00 - 44:08

fishing days in two full fishing days in

44:04 - 44:12

two 12-hour fishing days in and we got

44:08 - 44:12

so now we only have 3,996

44:14 - 44:22

uh cycles left so divided that by uh

44:19 - 44:26

let's just say I did that for 2 days

44:22 - 44:30

3,996 that's literally

44:26 - 44:33

3,996 days so if you did that every

44:30 - 44:36

weekend and just for simple math let's

44:33 - 44:39

say we do it all every day all year

44:36 - 44:44

divided by

44:39 - 44:46

365 I still only have nine no

44:44 - 44:50

10.94

44:46 - 44:52

years of doing this to these batteries

44:50 - 44:56

so I'm just telling you folks and then

44:52 - 45:00

you take that 10 and say these cost you

44:56 - 45:02

$450 just just for fun math 450 you

45:00 - 45:05

already know the math 450 divided by 10

45:02 - 45:06

is $45 a year is what these batteries

45:05 - 45:10

will end up costing you over the course

45:06 - 45:13

of 10 years um now lead acid batteries

45:10 - 45:15

might seem like a pretty neat thing it

45:13 - 45:18

might seem like they're going to be $150

45:15 - 45:19

less each nope can't possibly be you

45:18 - 45:21

ain't going to get a lead acid battery

45:19 - 45:24

for 50 bucks you're going to pay $30

45:21 - 45:28

plus dollars for two 12volt batteries of

45:24 - 45:30

this capacity and I'll guarantee you

45:28 - 45:31

I'll guarantee you well that you're

45:30 - 45:33

going to have hard press to find one

45:31 - 45:35

that has Bluetooth connectivity like

45:33 - 45:37

these have so you can actually monitor

45:35 - 45:42

the life and the health of these

45:37 - 45:44

batteries come on guys enjoy has hit the

45:42 - 45:48

spot there's no question about it they

45:44 - 45:51

won me over without a doubt i'm going to

45:48 - 45:53

charge these up again and uh these

45:51 - 45:55

they're again at 5 amps i've got them

45:53 - 45:57

down to zero it's going to take 20 hours

45:55 - 46:00

with my 5 amp hour charger to bring them

45:57 - 46:03

back up now what a guy could I got the

46:00 - 46:04

microphone right up here in my chin bone

46:03 - 46:06

now what a guy could do is you could run

46:04 - 46:08

them down to 50% say you say you're out

46:06 - 46:11

fishing all day and you ran them down

46:08 - 46:13

20% 25% you easily have the the same

46:11 - 46:15

kind of fishing day the following day

46:13 - 46:17

you easily got a full weekend in so

46:15 - 46:18

that's what's kind of nice about this

46:17 - 46:20

monitoring system you'll know exactly

46:18 - 46:22

what percentage of batteries left what

46:20 - 46:24

you have to use the type of fishing you

46:22 - 46:26

did today i'm just telling you there's

46:24 - 46:28

so many factors here having that

46:26 - 46:31

Bluetooth will clue you in on you may

46:28 - 46:33

not have to charge it but once a weekend

46:31 - 46:37

so now take that 10-year calculation I

46:33 - 46:39

just did and it goes to 20 or 30 or 40

46:37 - 46:40

depending on your fishing these will

46:39 - 46:42

most likely if you put these batteries

46:40 - 46:45

in a boat these batteries will most

46:42 - 46:47

likely outlast your

46:45 - 46:50

boat something to think about this is

46:47 - 46:51

cheap this is inexpensive and they're

46:50 - 46:54

easy to take care of cuz when you store

46:51 - 46:56

them for the winter you store them at

46:54 - 46:58

50% capacity and they love to live at

46:56 - 47:01

50% capacity that's where you store them

46:58 - 47:02

at so and there again there's a really

47:01 - 47:04

nice manual that comes with these that

47:02 - 47:05

tells you exactly how to take care of

47:04 - 47:07

these batteries they aren't high

47:05 - 47:10

maintenance and they only weigh 23

47:07 - 47:13

pounds a piece now just to give you an

47:10 - 47:18

idea I think the trying to remember

47:13 - 47:20

now that'd be 56 23 is 46 lbs but I

47:18 - 47:23

think I was upwards of 90 lbs of battery

47:20 - 47:26

in my boat that's a lot of weight that

47:23 - 47:28

you can you know light your boat up

47:26 - 47:29

you're going to get better fuel economy

47:28 - 47:31

because you're pushing less weight

47:29 - 47:34

through the water there is nothing but

47:31 - 47:37

upsides guys all right I've sold this

47:34 - 47:38

enough if you're not buying one now or

47:37 - 47:40

thinking about buying one and getting

47:38 - 47:42

rid of your lead acid batteries now I

47:40 - 47:43

totally get it if you just bought

47:42 - 47:47

yourself two new lead acid batteries

47:43 - 47:49

last year run those run those run those

47:47 - 47:52

and run those but you're going to enjoy

47:49 - 47:54

these more just because you you know

47:52 - 47:56

what's going on with them there's no

47:54 - 47:57

secrets there when it comes time to pull

47:56 - 47:59

them out of the boat if you wanted to

47:57 - 48:01

bring them inside for the winter uh you

47:59 - 48:03

don't have to remember that you're not

48:01 - 48:04

going to get a hernia you're not going

48:03 - 48:06

to blow out your O-ring trying to pick

48:04 - 48:09

these things up that's all there is to

48:06 - 48:11

it um like I said I'm excited to get

48:09 - 48:14

these in the boat these are staying in

48:11 - 48:15

this boat and I'll move my other lipos

48:14 - 48:19

to another a

48:15 - 48:20

life lifo batteries i think they're

48:19 - 48:24

lithium

48:20 - 48:27

iron yeah lithium

48:24 - 48:29

phosphate yeah Bluetooth lithium lithium

48:27 - 48:32

iron phosphate yeah lithium iron

48:29 - 48:33

phosphate i'm reading the battery sorry

48:32 - 48:36

guys i don't have all this committed to

48:33 - 48:38

memory that's how you know this is real

48:36 - 48:41

this is real this is me being real and I

48:38 - 48:43

definitely would not endorse anything um

48:41 - 48:44

that I didn't believe in now one thing I

48:43 - 48:46

wish they would come out with which

48:44 - 48:49

would be awesome and I think there it

48:46 - 48:53

will happen a starter battery that will

48:49 - 48:56

have a BMS built into it that could take

48:53 - 49:00

the energy coming back from your 12vt

48:56 - 49:02

regular system and and charge up your

49:00 - 49:04

LIFO batteries without doing damage to

49:02 - 49:06

them and then I could get rid of another

49:04 - 49:08

lead acid battery i've already got a

49:06 - 49:11

three bank charger that will easily

49:08 - 49:12

maintain that battery as well so if

49:11 - 49:16

you're buying a battery charger uh

49:12 - 49:18

obviously Enjoybot offers a lot of good

49:16 - 49:20

quality uh chargers well folks I hope

49:18 - 49:22

you enjoy this video i hope you found it

49:31 - 49:35

uh we'll have a good time and take a

49:33 - 49:38

friend take a kid take a grandkid

49:35 - 49:40

fishing with you anything just get that

49:38 - 49:43

boat out on the water uh my most

49:40 - 49:45

relaxing times I have is when I'm out on

49:43 - 49:46

the water finally I get all let's get to

49:45 - 49:48

the lake let's get to the lake i'm all

49:46 - 49:51

amped up and I get to the lake and it's

49:48 - 49:54

like ah you just feel the stress leave

49:51 - 49:55

your body that's all there is to it uh

49:54 - 49:57

that's one thing I do enjoy about

49:55 - 49:59

fishing but I also enjoy like you saw in

49:57 - 50:01

last week's video i enjoy working on

49:59 - 50:03

outboards and working on boats as well i

50:01 - 50:05

find that just as relaxing and re

50:03 - 50:07

rewarding when you get a boat all done

50:05 - 50:09

and ready to go fishing or you get an

50:07 - 50:12

outboard repaired and you're fired up in

50:09 - 50:14

the test tank uh now if this motor if I

50:12 - 50:15

was going to hang on to it longer and I

50:14 - 50:17

was waiting to get a little bit warmer

50:15 - 50:19

outside than it is right now and if that

50:17 - 50:22

was my outboard versus another guy's

50:19 - 50:24

outboard I would be taking it out later

50:22 - 50:26

on in the summer on the johnboat and

50:24 - 50:28

just giving her a good run and see how

50:26 - 50:31

she works

50:28 - 50:33

but that's the way it goes all right

50:31 - 50:35

folks if it ain't broke fix it till it

50:33 - 50:38

is see you on the next video if I'm

50:35 - 50:44

lucky bye
