Looking for a lithium battery to run electric motor in France all week, any long time users have any good reviews? I have seen the DC bundles but worry about water getting in usb ports, was thinking bison box plus battery as alternative or any other bundles out there. Any recommendations

Cheers Daz

Moved to the boat section, quite a few suggestions in here for batts
I've made the assumption given electric motor its for a boat, if not let me know.

I've been using ecoworthy 100ah batteries for a couple of years. Had no problems with it. Bought a cheap battery box for them from somewhere, to keep it waterproof and again, no issues at all. Picked them up on a good deal but cant remember from where.

I've got the same, had issues with the first one they sent out but they sent a replacement and had no issues. Also have a Fogstar drift 105ah & can't lie, the Bluetooth app with charge info is a godsend. Both of these live inside Bison Trolling motor battery boxes and have worked a charm in France & here in NL.

Also recently pushed a couple of 200ah waterprood batteries in a box from Aliexpress, they were on special at the time & it was 2 for €450. Used then in April for a week in France & didn't even get through 1, and this was towing 4 rods out, playing fish and feature finding.

Leisure battery + box is likely cheaper than the AE versions and I had no issues with it, stick to a reliable battery manufacturer and same for the box & you'll be grand

I bought an Ultra max 84Ah three years ago but it died a few months ago.
I have replaced it with a Eco worthy 100Ah.
I had a few mates who bought the Eco worthy about a year ago.

I Use my batteries most weeks all though the year.

Mine is in a water proof box and I use Anderson connectors rather than crocodile clips.

I have the eco worthy 100ah also in a bison battery box. Use it for running a trolling motor and lowrance unit. Also run it for bivvy power etc when im not on a boat lake instead of powerbanks. No issues in over a year of use. Can get a full week running a boat and lowrance unit.

Been using Eco worthy batts for 4 years now and cant fault them

Use 100ah ones for my Minn kota and a 30ah for my echo sounder

Are you sure?
