- John Crews has been running only 2 batteries in his Bass Cat for the last 2 years. Let him tell you the secret to the system.

36v Battery: lithiumpros.co...
Power Pole Charge: power-pole.com...

I got this exact setup - couldn’t be happier! It’s expensive, but very worth it.
Thanks for the tip John! this might be the ticket for my old Ranger R93. Heavy in the rear like Bass Cat. I will defenately look into this set up when my batteries go.
Oh yes
Great review and plug for LiPro. The average fisherman can't afford two $2,900 batteries and a $1,500 power pole charge.
@@billyburton4487 I have that in my boat. Amazing.
Unfortunately everyone can’t afford this setup. I wish it wasn’t like that too
@@billyburton4487 That’s just a regular charger. It’s nothing like what the Power Pole Charge does.
@Mount Rushmore it's a cost efficient on the go charger and maintainer. I wanted the power pole charge but looked at a balance on all add-ons on my boat. Rather spend more on a Ghost.
Excellent information. I am looking at setting up a Walleye fishing boat. Thanks.
We watched you and Matt fish that small body of water very informative you keep it real like Matt awesome 👍 thanks 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video J Crew's. I haven't been fishing in my Charger 395 TF since my son committed suicide. Last time we went out I had Hub problems an didn't take the plug out. Always garage kept, but parked it out to fix the Hub, rain came My dad passed away, then my son Logan, then my mom. 3 yrs later I go to charge my Optima's and there under water from all the rain with the boat cover on. Dual Bank Charger, under water. I have to replace all of it. Great Video brother. Good luck on the next Elites. I'll be watching you on Bass Live.
Great video- thank you sir and good luck in 2024🎣🙌🏼
Awesome information John thanks for sharing 🎣 👍
Great information!!
Battery technology keeps getting better and better, and the PowerPole Charge system has made that even better. The big alternator on the current gen Merc 4 strokes is a godsend, have literally fished 4 days without being able to plug in the boat when we had to park far from power. I'm curious with your use of this system for a few years, have you had any degradation in battery life/health?
You are exactly right. I haven’t seen any drop. They will last at least 10 years.
This is good info. Thanks. But another question, did the performance of your boat change with the weight coming out of the boat? All those graphs up front and a heavy Ghost trolling motor. Is the bow of your boat heavy? Will it trim properly? Does Rick Pierce of Basscat now design his boats for lighter sterns and heavy bows? The center of gravity has changed with all this great technology.
What voltage trolling motor you running??? 12v or 36v, as you mentioned everything is running on the boat thru the 12v system, just curious on how the trolling motor is hooked up
I am pretty sure he runs his Ghost trolling motor with 36 volts. You can run the Ghost on either 24 volts or 36 volts. In John’s case, unless he has some sort of voltage converter he is running the Ghost on 36 volts
Lithium batteries are great. Currently I have a 125 12v and 3 100ah trolling batteries. Can literally fish a week without charging even without a pp charge.
I do love have redundancy in my system where if one battery goes bad I can run my force on 24v and move a battery over as my starting battery.
John, I've got 3 lead batteries for the Ultrex and one AGM31 for cranking and my 2 graphs. I just bought a new Garmin 126sv and livescope. My question is, can I use one 12v lithium battery for cranking AND my 3 graphs with livescope? I wanted to have a lithium battery just for my Garmin and livescope and leave the other two units on the AGM battery as they are but I've only got a 4 bank charger.
You can but not all lithium batteries are equal. A good quality one like the Lithium Pro would do the job but be sure your charger in programmed for the lithium
Thanks John. Question for you, I have an older bass boat, like 25years old. When running lithiums under my context, should the boat be rewired? Thanks for the help. ASJ
I personally think your trying compensate for lack of speed going from a eyra to a puma sts I follow all your information you put out there thoughts ?
Taking weight out of the back of a boat does nothing for top end speed.
Could you tell us and show us how you have your 12v battery hooked up also how you have that shut off switch hooked up Thanks
I wish I had video of everyone at the Bass university when you said you only ran two. Question for us who can't drop the money all at once. Can you replace the batteries one at a time? Buy a Power pro charge one year, then next the 12 volt, and the next the 36 volt?
I remember that. 😂 Yes- 1 get PP Charge, 2 get 36v, 3 get 12v. That’s priority list
@@JohnCrews Good deal Thanks for the reply!!
How effective would one of these be with a smaller OB motor? I have a 2024 Mercury 60hp that can put out 18amps. Is it even worth it I'm only doing a moderate amount of running?
So for your ghost you are running it with only that 1 36v 65ah lithium battery correct ?
John; Any issue w Merc engine warranty and using lithium pro for cranking battery ?
No. I did a video reading the Mercury memo and explained it. Lithium Pros has been tested extensively by Mercury and no issues
@@JohnCrews thanks for reply !
Just priced it… man that’s to rich for me but if u can afford it. … good on you. Happy fishing
Where did you get those huge monster terminal covers?
Bass Cat parts
Can I do this full electric only two 12v batteries in my bass boat I am fishing the RLOS
Explain more of your setup
@@JohnCrews It's a 36v club so I can only have three 12v batteries but what I am wondering what can I do to inhance the battery life on the two 12v batteries for the trolling motor because I am only running a trolling motor up front and what thrust trolling motor should I get it is a 17ft bass boat don't have the electric outboard for the back yet but I am just wondering about what should do to save energy on the trolling up front what should I do and what thrust I have delt with current a lot too
What do you mean 65ah times 3?
Hey, I have that same shirt..lol!
Ohio lakes so small PP charge likely will not help much here
I'm not a fan of the dual gas tanks on each side of the boat...
It’s way more functional than a single tank
@@JohnCrews A friend of mine owns a cat with the dual tanks & when 1 goes empty the boat sits to 1 side..very annoying..does yours draw out of both tanks equally?
