[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 496883, member: 22613"] Biggest advantages I see, less weight, and longevity. They've come down in price enough now that if it lasts twice as long as a lead acid, you're breaking even, which they should last 2-5 times longer so you're money ahead there. In boats that have 2-4 deep cycle batteries, there is a substantial weight savings to be had, which is a big benefit as well. The bad, they require a special charger in most cases, and do not work well in cold weather. Given the application, cold weather may or may not be an issue. I haven't invested in lithium trolling batteries yet, but do have a 12ah lithium to run my bow electronics. My Noco charger seems to charge it just fine, overall I am happy with it. [/QUOTE]
