[QUOTE="monzster, post: 523826, member: 28161"] So being as I am on a very limited budget because I am not working and the wife has given me a $300.00 budget. I have done a little research and watched some YouTube videos and am thinking of going with a TechCella 160APH Smart Battery that has Bluetooth so that you can see the batteries charging system status. There have been some complaints with the app that is used and if really needed I may just get a monitor/shunt to see this but thats more $$. The company doesn't sell chargers but after contacting them they recommended a RedOdo 20AMP Lithium charger. The battery has a 5 year warranty (with expectancy of 10) and warehouses in USA but its not something you can just go to. Assuming you do have a warranty issue they do provide a shipping label for the battery but you do have to pack it. I figure I will just save the shipping box when I receive it. Battery is $199.00 and charger is $88.00 both from Amazon and you can register the battery thru their website even though its not purchased from them per their website. Its not a well known brand but it seems promising enough to take a gamble. I am going to wait a few more weeks before I order them. Its still a little to cold for me to get out on the boat yet. I only got to go twice last year due to some medical issues but hopefully this year will be better as I am feeling better and not working anymore. I appreciate the input I have gotten. Thanks alot!
