Li-Time (formerly known as Ampere-time) Lithium batteries.

Not specifically with Li-Time but so far I've had good luck with the cheaper Chinese batteries on Amazon.

Have 4 12v 100ah DJLBERMPW (dumb name but it's an abbreviation for something) in my golf cart and they've been awesome.

Just put a Temgot 12v 200ah in my motorhome and it's great as well. Has low temp charging protection and an app to monitor the BMS.

I'd have no concerns with Li-Time.

Put 3 LiTime mini LiFePO4 batteries in the boat six months ago to run MinnKota 36 volt trolling motor. Very impressive. Had 2 two day trips running spotlock non stop and the batteries came home at 50-75% charge. Using NOCO 3 bank charger setup to the lithium charge setting. 3 minis at 17 lbs each versus 3 agms at 35 lbs each. Only known issue- don’t charge in low temperature, no low temp protection in the brains. Pull the trigger with the specials they are running now.

What size boat and Ah batteries are you running? That’s important. I’m almost convinced most people could run 50Ah and be more than fine.

I have a 17ft Xpress bare bones boat. It has front and back decks and a small livewell in front of driver console. I have a Minn Kota 70lb 24V maxxum troll motor. My current batteries are Interstate size 24F. I believe they have 75ah
each.

One of the batteries has a gas leak. Which is concerning cause I've had a bad experience with leaking batteries in the past. They are 2 1/2 years old.

Would 50ah be sufficient?

Hell I think most aluminum boats could run a 20Ah and be fine 90% of days. I just bought 100Ah for my 27 ft cat for offshore fishing, but I’m hoping they are overkill.

Leaning heavily with getting LiTime 100ah minis. They would fit perfect in my setup and I probably wouldn't have to charge batteries til every 4th or 5th fishing trip. It would be overkill, but screw it. lol
