Lithium batteries

Post by striper192001 »

Seeing a lot of ads for lithium batteries (Dakota). Has anyone made the jump?
And if not..........I am in need of 2-3 batteries. Does anyone have a source or place to buy batteries I wouldn't think of ?

Oh......as an aside, where is a good spot to pick up shrink tube for wiring? Is there a good set?

Thanks in advance !

Batteries, I buy the Interstate deep cycle at Costco. Good price and have no problem with them. Check out Harbor Freight for your shrink tubing. Have a great 2022 fishing season!

Dakota lithium why? You can replace with three regular deep cells vs one lithium, do you trust warranty? Some ten years, I can go back to local store and take care. My deep cell lasts about 4 years. You see those pro bass boys pushing the Dakotas but they get them for free, new every year. Lithium don’t like cold friend had one in snowmobile didn’t last two years.have you had any problems with the battery you have? I also believe you have to charge them differently, friend had to change charger in his bass boat. Just check out before you buy. I’m just saying,

Heat shrink sold by the foot. Saves on waste.

Good place to buy heat shrink and wire. Buy the sizes you need and the color you want. If you buy the Amazon kits you get many pieces that are to small for any wire you're going to use. This is three times shrink. Blue Sea is two times shrink.

Amazon has good prices on the connectors. Blue Sea connectors are very expensive.

Its also a good place to buy wire. Shipping is included in the cost.
