Compared with daytime fishing, more people would like to fish at night, enjoy the quieter environment around, and experience the fun of no disturbance. But the most important thing in night fishing is to choose the right light, how to power the light source and what needs special attention, let’s look at one by one.
What kind of batteries are usually used to power night fishing lights?
Most experienced night fishermen will choose lithium batteries. Considering the uncertainty of night fishing locations, the equipment of night anglers must be easy to transfer. And compared to lead-acid batteries, lithium batteries have a great advantage in weight and size. So even if lithium batteries are a little more expensive, the vast majority of night fishermen will choose lithium batteries to power their lights for the sake of convenience.
What are the benefits of using lithium batteries for night fishing lights?
1. Long power supply time: Due to the high energy storage density of lithium batteries, lithium batteries can store more power in a smaller volume. This means that night anglers can go night fishing for a long time.
2. Fast range: fast charging is also a great feature of lithium batteries, which allows night anglers to replenish the consumed power very quickly.
3. Longer service life: due to the special material, the service life of lithium batteries is usually longer than that of other kinds of batteries. This in a sense saves the cost of replacing batteries.
4. Wide operating temperature range: the usual operating temperature of -25 ~ 45 degrees Celsius, can be very good to meet the night temperature changes, for the normal power supply of the light source.
Disadvantages of lithium batteries for night fishing light source power supply
1. The cost of lithium batteries is high, and the cost may be large for a short time.
2. Lithium batteries take longer to charge at lower temperatures.
How much power is needed to power a battery pack for a light source
LED lights are often used in our daily life. it is also true that LED lights can reduce power consumption, but when it comes to night fishing, the power of LED lights may not be enough for what is needed. Therefore, most night fishing advocates opt for higher power floodlights, but then the power may reach hundreds or thousands of watts. However, we can estimate how long the floodlight will work, and then use the time*wattage to get the amount of power consumed, so that we can prepare a battery pack with the appropriate power to power the light source in advance.
Generally speaking, many night fishermen will choose 12v 100Ah lithium batteries, because 100Ah lithium batteries can provide about 1kWh of power, so that the 100-watt light source can run for 10 hours to meet the needs of night fishermen.
Summary
Through the above description, we can know that lithium battery is the best choice when choosing the right battery for the light source. And paying attention to protecting the battery can bring us more benefits.
