LiTime 24V 50Ah LiFePO4 for electric propulsion: DIY Battery Boxes + How to Wire 2 in Parallel
Time to ditch that noisy, unreliable gas outboard for good!
In this episode of Paragon’s Favorite Stuff, we unbox two LiTime 24V 50Ah LiFePO4 batteries, build custom waterproof plywood/fiberglass/epoxy battery boxes, and draw out our complete parallel wiring plan to safely deliver up to 65 amps at 24 volts to our 120 lb thrust trolling motor (equivalent to a 3 to 5 hp outboard).
Why LiTime 50Ah LiFePO4 batteries and an electric Trolling Motor?
✅ Silent – Wildlife won’t hear you coming
✅ 100% Reliable – No gas, no carbs, no pull-starts
✅ Free Fuel – Charged 100% by solar/wind
✅ Lighter & Smaller – 21 lbs each vs. 70+ lbs lead-acid
✅ Full 50Ah Usable – No 50% DoD limit like lead-acid
✅ Fast Charging – 0–100% in less than 3 hrs with 40A charger
✅ 4000+ Cycles + 10+ year lifespan
Stay tuned for part 2 (coming soon), where we complete the installation and do full throttle testing runs on the water with our 120lb thrust trolling motor!
