A question for the Elec reel users. What ah do you find best for a day of fishing without a charge being needed. I know depth and load play a big part so an overall estimate.
Trying to decide on an ah size. Is 20ah good or is 50ah or higher needed for a day of fishing. Trying to keep the size and weight down but rather have battery life.
Benny where did you find the 50 AH battery pack, I have the Diawa 14000mah pack and it doesn't last all day. 12 VDC receptacles work all day and all night no problem.
Benny if you are going to build a W/T box for it, you might as well add a fuse/breaker and a receptacle so you have circuit protection and ease of connection.
Benny the factory packs its internal, but if I was to make a power supply, I'd probably fuse at 2.5 amp to start with. Having a load on rod would be big help, then if fuse blows, try 3a etc. you want the lowest rated fuse at full load.
Haven’t heard anything from Shimano via phone and email. Does anyone use external lithium batteries with their Elec reels without fuses. Thinking of making the battery box without a fuse then adding it in if needed. I just hate leaving on hold.
