Rule The Water With Power Queen Marine Batteries
It happens to every outdoor enthusiast at one point. It is a draw we all feel deep within us. You know what we mean – you want a boat. It is inevitable, too. One day you’ll see a boat, and it will call to you. Before you know it, it is in your driveway.
What comes next is a rite of passage for boat owners. The time-honored tradition of setting your boat up the exact way you want it. It starts with electronics, followed by a trolling motor, and can often end with a new outboard, if you’re just not getting the performance you desire. One truth about adding all things electrical to your boat: you need the proper batteries to make it all work. That’s where Power Queen comes in.
Lithium vs. Acid-Cell Marine Batteries
Depending on what brand your boat is and how old it is, it could very well have a lead-acid battery being used to start the motor and run the basic electronics, such as a fish finder or GPS. Many newer boats are now using Lithium batteries, like the Power Queen models.
Lithium batteries weigh dramatically less than traditional acid-cell batteries. This helps reduce overall weight. Additionally, lithium batteries last for 10 years or more with 3,000 to 5,000 charge cycles. Acid-cell batteries are doing well if they get half of that. Power Queen 12V 150Ah Group 27 Deep Cycle Marine cranking LiFePO4 batteries blow past all of them, giving you as much power as three AGM lead-acid batteries in a single, lighter unit. You can have all the power you need in one single battery, saving you a lot of weight on your boat. You also enjoy reduced maintenance, as a lithium battery is a sealed unit that never needs servicing.
An acid-cell battery’s power tapers off as it discharges. Power Queen LiFePO4 batteries maintain a consistent voltage output until they are nearly depleted. That means consistent starting power, even as the battery drains. You have all-day runtime power. This is a huge upgrade for anglers heading out for long fishing days on the water. And thanks to Bluetooth connectivity, you can monitor your battery via an app on your phone.
You also have the power to run your important electronics. The Power Queen holds 1,920Wh of usable energy, and is designed to power any fish finders, GPS, and other electronics. Even if you’re fishing in a tournament, which can be a huge power draw, this battery has the power you need and plenty more. It is the perfect lead-acid replacement battery with greater capacity and less weight in a Group 27 size. At just 33.5 lbs, the Power Queen is roughly 83% lighter than the lead-acid batteries it would take to produce the same amount of power. That is weight savings you can use toward more tackle, extra rods, and other necessary equipment.
Trolling Motors
Trolling motors are a vital part of many angler’s boat setups, whether you’re a weekend warrior getting out on the lake to blow off the stress from a long week at work, or a seasoned tournament angler putting time on the water in hopes of bringing in the heaviest limit. With the latest advancements, you can use a trolling motor to help navigate a specific location on a lake, slowly work a weedbed, or other hot spot, and newer trolling motors can even hold your boat against current without dropping the anchor. As you might imagine, running a trolling motor requires a different kind of battery compared to your starting battery. The Power Queen 24V 125Ah Lithium trolling motor deep-cycle marine battery has many of the same traits as the starting model, but specifically tailored to run a trolling motor.
The biggest difference between the two main types of marine battery is that trolling motors run continuously and often for long periods. These motors create a steady draw of power to move the boat around, or hold position against the wind, and are often 24-volt or more. Where a cranking battery is often a 12-volt that needs a heavier initial burst of power to get the gas motor to turn over and start, deep-cycle marine batteries need to produce a steady draw of power for longer periods of time. They also are designed to discharge a large portion of their stored energy repeatedly without damage, even moreso than a lithium cranking battery.
The Power Queen 24V 125Ah Lithium trolling motor is a compact, high-capacity 24V battery with 125Ah capacity. This 24V deep-cycle battery is designed specifically for marine use. It even has It has Bluetooth connectivity allowing you to track exact power usage from an app on your phone. It is also self-heating, meaning you will have consistent power, even on extremely cold morning for late season tournaments, or fishing trips.
The Power Queen trolling motor battery was designed to run 70–100 lb thrust trolling motors and give you up to 18 hours of continuous runtime. It weighs 52.5 pounds, and has a IP67 waterproof rating. Like all Power Queen lithium batteries, this battery carries a 5-year warranty. You can also use it to power your accessories for camping and overlanding adventures, making it a spectacular value. Running a boat requires power, and the features packed into every Power Queen battery make the choice easy.
