These are very good batteries, last much longer than regular, are lightweight, and don't require the careful maintenance that lead acid batteries do. There are a number of choices on that search page. Some are simple, and others have more features. At this price, I would have bought the bluetooth versions, but it's not necessary.

The basic100 AH batteries should easily last you a full day on a lake. For about $159, they don't cost much more than a Walmart battery. I use mine to fish the CBBT and also lakes here in VA. A simple choice to make, in my opinion.

This is the $25 charger I purchased, and it's worked well. I have two, since I need to charge multiple batteries:

And free hacking on your credit card....Temu is number one on the BBB credit card fraud usage business. Beware !!

Making the switch this spring to a LiPO4 battery for my 55# trolling motor. My LA batteries are from 2019 and even though they still work, their capacity has dropped and don't want to have them die on the water. I will be ordering from TimeUSB directly, rather than Amazon as the couple dollar savings is not worth the hassle if a warranty issue should come about. Going with a 140ah battery to replace my two LA battries, will save about 100 lbs and a much longer run time. Can't wait for spring !!

Well, lucky me, been buying at Temu for a few years, no issues YET. Temu has been very good when it comes to damage or fit issues.

I ordered Lithium from Timeusb just 30 minutes ago, here's hoping!!!! I only have a single MK Power Drive @ 55# thrust that switches between 2 boats so the weight savings will be appreciated..... I also ordered their charger so they can't blame faulty charging on me!!
