Elevate Your Boating Experience with Pro-Guide Lithium Batteries

Mike Iaconelli, a seasoned tournament angler, recently shared his insights on why he chooses lithium batteries for his bass boat. In his detailed video, Mike highlights the significant advantages of lithium technology over traditional lead-acid or AGM batteries, focusing on weight savings, power efficiency, and rapid chargeback time. Let's delve into why Pro-Guide lithium batteries are the ultimate choice for serious anglers.

The Weight Advantage

One of the most compelling reasons Mike favors lithium batteries is their remarkable lightness. Traditional 29 to 31 series lead-acid batteries can weigh between 80 to 120 pounds, severely impacting a boat's performance. In contrast, Pro-Guide's 36V lithium batteries weigh just about 20 pounds each. This substantial weight reduction enhances the boat's top-end speed, gas mileage, and overall maneuverability, providing a significant performance boost.

Unmatched Power and Efficiency

Lithium batteries are renowned for their superior power delivery. Mike emphasizes that these batteries can efficiently supply power to high-demand systems like trolling motors and electronics. His setup includes a 36V system for his trolling motor, capable of delivering consistent power for extended periods. Additionally, the Pro-Guide lithium batteries ensure reliable power for multiple depth finders, live wells, and other accessories, crucial for a full day of tournament fishing.

Rapid Chargeback Time

For tournament anglers, quick turnaround is essential. Mike praises the Pro-Guide lithium batteries for their fast chargeback time, which is less than half of what is needed for AGM batteries. Using a Power-Pole
