My boat isnt a speed demon so shaving 40-50lbs isn't going to make that much difference. Right now, the juice ain't worth the squeeze

if needing for starting only you can build one for way less than a marine battery.
THESE CELLS HAVE NOT BEEN CAPACITY TESTED BUT THEY ARE GUARANTEED TO ARRIVE WITH GOOD VOLTAGE AND ALL WERE REMOVED IN WORKING CONDITION FROM BACKUP STARTER BATTERY PACKS. WE GUARANTEE NO DEAD CELLS AND AT THIS PRICE YOU CAN'T GO WRONG. NO COMPRESSION NEEDED FOR CYLINDRICAL CELLS. THESE ARE BIG CELLS WITH A CRAZY AMOUNT

Completely false. Look up some videos on YouTube and it explains cost vs longevity, and it’s a no brainer…..if you are willing for the upfront cost. I switched from a 109ah lead acid to a 100ah lithium and I almost doubled my usable amp hours.

I just added lithium for my electronics and I can honestly say I’m glad I did. The upfront cost is considerable but the run time, weight difference, overall size and image quality on my livescope is amazing. I went with 12v 18ah battery and also picked up a spare so I can go all weekend with no issues. I also added a toggle switch to cut power. I understand that the black box draws power, even when not in use.

I have several buddies that run them. I think they have all had problems at least once with them. You can til the TM all day on high is a plus and they weight about 22 pounds for a 100ah battery. I’m considering changing out my electronics batteries next year with lithium but I just replaced my TM batteries so I doubt I do that again just now.
