Someone recommend me a very good lithium 12v deep cycle battery. I have 2 12 v batteries for my tm and a crank battery
My lithium batteries are Ionic brand and have been great so far. I like the app that shows charge level on my phone. Not sure how many AH you need for a secondary trolling motor and a bait well? I am sure there are calculators out there on the net which can give you a good idea of what you need.

I was going to get Dakota batteries for my bullet, and my agent told me to make sure I take them out of the boat when not in use, because my policy and apparently many others do not cover fire damage caused by lithium batteries.

Thanks. I'll look into that. The ones I've been using for the small transom mount tm flapper and bait tank has been cheapo 100 buck deep cycles from O'Reilly. And they sulfate and lose strength within a handful of months.
I am not sure of the amp draw from that tm but it's a Minnkota transom mount and when I turn it on, I turn the handle to 2 or 3.
I just looked and it's a Minnkota C2 30. I take the prop off and put a splasher prop on. It says max draw is 30 amps.
I'll check out Ionic. I'll gladly spend whatever is necessary for a quality one.

I would ask him for the provision.
