2. RoyPow battery used:

B24100H

RoyPow 24V 100AH to power my trolling motor

3. why you switched to Lithium Batteies?

Switching to Lithium on my boat saved critical space and 100 pounds. It saved around 35 pounds on my kayak. In both applications the fact that Lithium batteries maintain full power regardless of discharge level was important.

4. why did you choose RoyPow?

I use RoyPow because there's an app that allows me to monitor both my boat and kayak batteries.

5. your advice for up and coming anglers?

Pay attention to small details, such as hook sharpness. It's usually worth spending a little extra money up-front on things, such as Lithium instead of lead batteries.
