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
01:29 - 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
02:42 - 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
02:56 - 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
04:07 - 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
05:02 - 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
07:55 - 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
08:08 - 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
08:25 - 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
09:20 - 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
09:41 - 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
10:19 - 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
11:24 - 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
11:39 - 11:44
happy let's get you back on the stand
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
12:23 - 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
14:21 - 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
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
15:41 - 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
17:10 - 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
17:36 - 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
17:46 - 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
18:49 - 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
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
25:19 - 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
26:50 - 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

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
33:33 - 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
34:17 - 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
35:13 - 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
36:47 - 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
37:45 - 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
38:02 - 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
38:18 - 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
39:02 - 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
39:23 - 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
40:44 - 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
43:10 - 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
44:39 - 44:46
365 I still only have nine no
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
48:20 - 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
49:20 - 49:25

fishing with you anything just get that
49:38 - 49:43

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
50:28 - 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
