That was some very bad information someone made up and it spread like wild fire. There was never a void warranty issue. There was only a statement that they reserved the right to refuse repairs to components damaged by the use of the battery. Recently, a new service bulletin has come out approving the use of certain lithium batteries.


That’s good to know. I heard it from a couple channels. Most recent that I heard it from was a tech email reply from Dakota Lithium.

This depends on the boat. I have three friends who changed 4 AGM batteries to lithium and were bragging on how much weight reduction they had in their bass boat. All three of them said their top speed was reduced by 3-5 mph now. It made their boat slower.
Yeah, this isn't unusual. It's similar to adding weight to the bow, which most bass boats do not like. I have been tempted to add a sand bag or two to my rear storage

OTOH, hole shot is scary fast.
