Wiring the 2 batteries in parallel will double amp hrs (100+ 100 =200). Here’s how to wire batteries in parallel: Connect the negative terminal of each battery to the negative terminal of the battery next to it. Do the same with the positive terminals. Connect the positive terminal of the last battery to the positive terminal on your application. Do the same with the negative terminals.
I do like the fact of knowing if my cranking battery does die for any reason. As we are well know they do and will die at the worst moment. Lol I would at least have a back up to get my big motor up and running. But I get why you switched but I will stay with a back up plan for starting my big engine. And also they do make some great lithium cranking batteries too in certain brands. I'm sure you already know this though.
Yeah if that happens I can just unhook the jumped one back on the cranking battery and get running. But that AGM literally has nothing else to do but crank and get charged running...
@@brewcrewfishing I use the Ionic 125ah for cranking and just my lights. Which hardly ever get used. But I do use my extra 125ah Ionic battery for graphs and as a back up for cranking battery
Zero issues with them. I use remote for Mt Lowrance Ghost TM and foe my electronics. Power all day and they charge up quickly. Prices ate better now than before...
Hey Chris, my buddy was thinking about purchasing a 2015 Legend v20. Looks like you are still running one. Just wanted your thought. I have read that there were a couple of flaws, but not game changers.
They're beautiful rigs hands down. I always get compliments. Deck space is unmatched,rod and tackle storage is better than my previous 21' Triton. NO PLASTIC TO WEAR OUT. Everything is just quality. Bilge area is wide open for maintenance etc. Mine is a '15 as well and only thing close to it is the new Puma STS imho.. I do not care for the ez loader trailer though. Bascat trailers are the real deal! I had an aluminum I-beam with shocks and springs on my Triton and it was smooth as silk on the road. This not so much. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for posting this have been thinking of doing something like this but wasn't sure how to start. Your video clears it up for me.
Great video. How did you jumper the battery’s to get the 200ah I’m going to do the same.

Are you still happy with the performance of the Chins batteries? I'm about to grab a full set for my boat.
Yes. They're still going strong and no issues. Think they're even less expensive now than when I got them almost 2yrs ago.
Damn Chris your RUclips famous!! You’ve been holding out! That trick with the 100 to 200 amp hr is genius!!

Here's a great source of information to use when debating the type and size of battery to use for cranking. www.bbcboards.net/showthread.php?t=20671
How are those chins performing? They appear to be a good deal.
Also wanting to know. About to switch to lithiums this month.

@@brewcrewfishing Are they the blue tooth models?

Enjoy your videos, thank you for sharing! I also have a legend, LE21
Thank you. I try to make them informative and get other people's opinions on what they've done as well.
Now to get my boat to your house so that you can rewire it...lol.
Lol
