On the smaller boat where weight is more critical it’s all LifePO, two 100 A/hr in parallel for TM, one 50 A/hr for electronics and small motorcycle sized LifePO for the starter.  The starter batt is a Noco that is specifically designed for starter applications but, it has enough reserve to run boat lights and a bilge pump.</blockquote>
