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.

Thanks for all the replys

50ah be sufficient?

I have 50AH on my bay boat and it's plenty

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

So does anyone have experience with using 2 - 12V 50 ah Li Time (or other cheap amazon brands) batteries with a 24 V trolling motor setup? Heard of it working out fine with more reputable brands. Wondering if it will be ok with some cheaper amazon ones

I just bought a new 50ah battery off Amazon a couple days ago. I was going to go with LiTime but after reading the reviews on how bad their customer service is and some BMS issues I decided to go with NERMAK which is also a cheap chinese brand, but I already have a couple of their batteries and have never had a problem and their 12v 50ah was also on sale $2 cheaper than the LiTime at $109 for me i believe. I haven't received it yet. Probably made in the same factory, so idk... just another option.

We ran my buddy’s 3 100 AH batteries dry fighting the heavy seas yesterday. And as I’m sure most know, they keep going until they die, no tapering off as a warning. So we were 20+ miles offshore with an Ulterra stuck in the down position (a topic for another thread). And he didn’t have any jumper cables or a jump box, so he rummaged around and found a piece of wire we cut in two and managed to get enough off the house battery to get it to stow mode. Reminded me once again on why I got the manual deploy when I bought mine.

I bought 2 Chinese batteries off of Amazon and have been very pleased so far. They’ve dropped in price a ton.

Are you running the 50ah in series for a trolling motor?
