[QUOTE="CRS, post: 493964, member: 21726"] I have used Dakota lithium batteries for 5 years and never had any problem, they are light weight (about 1/2 AGM or lead acid) this helps with small boats. Remember AGM and lead acid should never be drawn down past 50%, lithium ion can be drawn down 80% or more depending on who you check with without any damage and the voltage remains the same preventing low voltage damage. would suggest multiple batteries. Regardless of the type things go wrong, batteries fail unexpectedly. With 2 or more you will still get back to the dock. Cost of lithium is expensive layout but the double life 11 years and the ability to farther faster out weigh the cost in my humble opinion. [/QUOTE]
