For one part of the population, fishing boats are a way to relax and entertain themselves; for another part, they are a necessary appliance for fishing. But no matter which kind of use of a fishing boat, it is essential to equip the fishing boat with the right batteries for it to work properly. Today, take a look at the fishing boat battery’s as well as wiring related content.
For fishing boat wiring, there are generally two battery settings to choose from: single battery settings and dual battery settings. According to the survey of related organizations, most users usually choose the double battery setting for their own convenience. One battery acts as a starter battery, i.e. it is specifically designed to start your generator. The other battery is designed to power other electrical devices on your fishing boat, and is generally referred to as the home battery.
2.1 Cold start current: Cold start current refers to the maximum current that the battery can provide when starting the engine at low temperatures. Therefore, in order to avoid the engine not being able to start properly at low temperatures, the cold start current of the selected battery should easily exceed the maximum cold start current required to start the engine.
2.2 Size of the battery: Conductor specifications are an important factor affecting the size of the battery, as it must be compatible with the conductor specifications when installing the battery in the fishing boat. Because each conductor specification has a maximum withstand current, if the battery and conductor specification, it may cause some safety hazards.
2.3 Battery capacity: the battery capacity when the fishing boat in the selection of the battery must be considered factors, the battery capacity must be large enough. Otherwise, when the fishing boat travels to the center of the lake, the battery is dead will bring great safety problems to the user.
This usually depends on the user’s purpose.
3.1 Series: If you want to run high voltage equipment such as trolling motors, you can choose series. This is because series connection allows you to stack the battery voltages to increase the voltage of the whole system, for example, two 12v LiPo batteries connected in series will give you a 24v LiPo battery pack. In series connection, pay attention to the negative terminal of the first battery to the positive terminal of the next battery, and so on, and finally use a cable to connect the negative terminal of the last battery to the positive terminal of the first battery. It is important to pay special attention to the fact that even if multiple cells are connected in series as a battery pack, when charging, it is better to charge the batteries one by one, otherwise it may lead to voltage imbalance and danger.
3.2 Parallel connection: If the user wants to increase the total capacity of the system can choose parallel connection. And parallel connection has more available ampere hours and in some sense it can extend the length of time that some energized devices can be used. Parallel connection is usually made by connecting the positive terminal of one battery to the positive terminal of another battery, and then using a cable to connect the negative terminal of the battery to the other batteries, paying attention to the last wire, which should be connected to the positive terminal at one end and the negative terminal at the other end.
Two lithium batteries: to meet the dual battery setup required.
Cables: to connect the batteries to the various electrical devices.
Scissors: Cut the cables to get the required cable length.
Wrench, vise: to fix some necessary facilities.
Grease: to protect some circuit components.
Crimping tools: to facilitate the fixed connection of the cable.
