not for a boat but on one of my motorcycles i put an antigravity lithium-ion battery and when it senses a constant drain like over winter it shuts off. in the spring there is a button switch you depress and resets and you have a charged battery.

I have a 48volt golf cart that takes 8 6 volt batteries, that is a $2,000 bill every 5-6 years.
Would this new lithium ordeal fix this sonofabitching expense?

I put a li-time in my 36 volt cart that is used to putt around the camp ground. If I remember right it was about $600 with a charger. Seems to work well for that purpose.

UPDATE. I bought the 36v 100ah for my ulterra. 36v 21ft nitro. Absolutely awesome, I would charge every 3-4 trips but only because I felt like I should. I don’t think I ever had it below 20%

I also got a 12v 100ah to run my 3 graphs and livewell on. I would go with the 140ah for that so I could run 3 full days instead of 2. Overall Im happy with them. Now the biggest question will be, to see how they survived the winter

I take it you didn't bring them indoors?
I was hearing conflicting reports so I took mine out of the boat..pain in the ass. If I could leave them in the cold storage garage though I sure would. Especially now that I am running 5 of the things!

Couple hrs of removal time is worth it for the investment and piece of mind.

Nope didn’t even unplug them, there is a master power on/off that you can switch on your phone I believe though. But I don’t think I did that even. All I did was charge them up good

Now that I have well over 10 trips on my boat with the new LiTime batteries, figured I would give a review. The three 140ah batteries might be a little overkill. I have fished some long days in big wind and the lowest that I have seen these batteries is 75%. Most trips the batteries are still on 90% when I get home. I am impressed to say the least, and have had no issues.

what was the cost to convert from lead acid to lithium?

I have always run the electronics and pumps, yadda off the lead acid starter battery. Worrying about running low and possibly not starting was a PITA. Or V drop when I started would kill my graphs. Grrr.

I'm going to take the dive into FFS, so now I will really be taxing the starter and I knew I need a solution.

I was going to buy a 100ah lithium and dedicate it to running electronics, pumps, etc. Was thinking also that I would add a DC-DC charger to charge the lithium while running the outboard. Pretty soon it was all getting complicated and expensive.

Then I accidentally stumbled onto the dual starter/deep battery from LiTime (12V 165ah dual purpose group 31) and I had to order it. I'll simply replace the old 12V lead acid and move on with my life!

Now my only problem will be figuring out how many more things I might want to run off of it that I never ran before due to capacity concerns. Ideas include comfort fans for when I'm hot, a bait chiller or refrigerator/cooler thingy, etc. The possibilities are endless! Hahaha.
