Do I understand you are getting more actual speed from your motor with the lifepo4 battery at each speed setting ?? If so, that is great !!! Hadn't heard anyone mention there actual speed was faster !!
I have the same results. With led acid I would use the 3 setting on my Edge 55 most of the time to fish along a shoreline. When I switched to ionic Lith 3 was too fast, cut back to two and now same speed as three setting.
Wait on it. Lithium batteries are only getting cheaper and cheaper and better and better. Might be able to buy 200ahr for the same price as 100 now in a few years.
Well my assumption would be the reason for the added speed on tm would be the same reason I gained 2.5 mph using my 9.9. I lost 148 lbs in batteries. I have not measured tm speed but making the boat that much lighter has to add speed. So with that in mind, speed gain might depend on weight loss gain.
Yeah I keep telling myself that, just like it is with electronics. I did find the Roypow 24v 50ah on sale for $399 (regular $599) and I ordered it but they removed the discount code from my cart and I tried to call them and no one answered. This was a place called the official Roypow store. I called the factory in Texas to see if that was a legitimate retailer and it said no one is available to take my call. I finally got someone to answer when i selected the billing option but she gave me an email address and I never got a response. The official Roypow store respond later by email but i had already canceled the order. I just got a funny feeling that the customer service might be an issue. I know Epoch has Roypow stamped on the battery case but from what I've read the customer service is good.
I have been told the battery meter built in the head of an electric motor and standard lead acid battery meters will not work with this battery. What battery meter are you using.
