Do I need an extension?
(asking for a friend)

From the Old and Dusty corner...........

I upgraded to a Vex FL8 that is all that I really need. (Imma hack lol)

I do have my Hummingbird Silent 60 with the two lantern battery ice rig as a back up. (I told ya it was dusty here)

Pay for how you play!!

Nice!!

I filled out their customer service form about the 40V, and they never responded.

Of course with Black Friday I could have gotten lost in the mix.

Being an Ice Fishing Hack that doesn't go until I can drive out...

I spend most of that interim time on the internet looking for post vaccination travel deals, shopping for my Mexican fishing buddy's Wish List, and looking for new Travel Surf Rods that I might want to spend the bucks on to try out on the next foray South.

No Black Friday deals on the SM 40V that I could see.
Dick's had a 25% off of you cart sale. SM was not on the excluded list, but would not apply the 25% off.

So now I wait for Cyber Monday I guess.

After reading the opinions here, and the reviews out there, I decided that the better unit for me is the Strikemaster 40V.

Sorry I missed this first pass!!

Here is a link to battery universtity that explains it!

https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries

The Short answer is Yes, if you want your battery to operate correctly for you.

Lead acid charging is around 2 volts per cell.
Lithium ion charging is around 4 volts per cell, and no "trickle charging" at full charge.

Have you checked the "charger" that is in your package?
If it is just a standard "off shelf" small device charger you may be able to just swap it out.

Thanks for the Heads Up Kirk!!

Been thinking of one to reduce weight on the old FL8 pack!!

Sweet!!

Luck with that!!!
