Thanks for the come back. I am using a gas auger now. If I were to get a elec I would want to use that huge battery for other applications. It may need a cigarette lighter port. So I could charge a phone, run a Vexilar or my portable led lights.

Here you go. It's a bit spendy to do the extras other then just make holes though! ?

Looks like that one just has a USB port on it not a cigarette lighter type port, right?

I'm not sure why you would want to do that other than saving the weight or expense of having a second battery.

 

Just remember, the power in those batteries only last so long so the more you use, the faster it will run down. If you drill a bunch of holes plus use the battery for other 12 volt applications in the house, it may die sooner than you want it to.

 

Personally, I would stick with multiple batteries for different applications.

Great info. I thought I saw that somewhere. So, calling all inventive minds together.. ... Take battery pak & plug it into a board with all the gizmos, gagets, inverters, transistors & diodes. Then jump your four wheeler, run all your electronics, fans, ligjts & power coolers, fans and aerators in the summer.

Thats correct.  But cigarette lighter sockets as power sources are getting pretty outdated.  Even the car charger plug ins are just the terminal end that you plug a USB cord into.

 

The E6 Lightning is the first battery auger that has this feature and I’ll bet all others will follow suit.  The amount of power to charge things that run off USB is pretty minimal, including LED lights.  The E6 (6 Ah battery) is marketed as being able to drill 70 - 8” holes through 24” of ice on a charge.  If that stands to be true, I might be wantin’ one.

 

But even if I could make the power connection to a Vexilar, I doubt I’d take it that far.  6 Ah hours isn’t enough for a day on the ice for the Vex IMHO.

Have you looked into the Milwaukee power source? You could use the cordless drill and hand auger to cut holes and use the same batteries and the Milwaukee power source with the USB port?

Lots of ways to share battery power. Most ice fishing Electronics run on 12 VDC so in many cases you only need a specific cable from source to equipment or run direct as with my camera compas panner. If going to higher voltage batteries 24v, 40v etc. you need a regulator or converter to reduce voltage to 12 VDC. Cables are often hard to find so I build mine. I use the base LM317 regulator with a couple capacitors & resistors to get desired output volts from 1.25v to 37v. The 3.2v regulator bottom right runs my my camera

The only thing is usb does put out enough power to make your led lights work. I am having my electrical engineering buddies check into making a usb to rum my leds and vexilar. 

USB cords and source are 5v at max 1.4A. Vex runs on 12v. Most LEDs are also 12v. May have extreme dificaulty to to get USB to 12v.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
