Lithium Battery and Older 2 Stroke?
I have a small 16’ aluminum bass boat with a 2010 mercury 50hp elpto. My lead batteries are on the out and I really like the idea of switching to one of the lithium batteries that is like 150+AH that can be both house and cranking battery. This would save a bunch of weight and open up some room in the bilge on my small boat and allow me to upgrade some of my electronics as well.
I also understand that this engine and stator aren’t 1:1
compatible with lithium and it’s really only the newer 4 strokes mercury has approved. I have seen others still using a lead battery for the started and then lithium via a dc to dc charger which I can do but doesn’t feel like it’s worth the effort or money in my situation
Is there any literature or wiring diagrams to run the dc-dc between the motor and battery directly to be able to do this? Or is this simply not possible?
TIA
