Yes it is but is lower priced and has a shorter warranty because of it. cheers

Capacity is different in each. Typically the group 31 is the biggest(most powerful)

I've been looking at trolling motor batteries and have come to the conclusion I would rather spend $1,000 on 3 50Ah Lithiums that will last 10 years with a 5 year warranty than to spend $450 - $600 on 3 AGM batteries with a 1-2 year warranty. Not to mention the weight reduction in the boat. I swapped out my cranking battery for a 135 Ah battery 6 months ago and LOVE it.

No, Sam's in about $100 less. Think they are 129 or 139 each last time I saw.

Sorry it wasn't $1000, it was $1,295 including tax and shipping. I tend to round down when justifying purchases to myself.

It's from DrewCraft.com. The brand is Ionic. They actually use a really cool app that connects to your batteries and give you all sorts of data on the battery when you are close enough to connect to them via Bluetooth.

I looked at these and other Lithium brands...the charger is where the money is as well.

You paid $1300 for the batteries...what about the charger? Wasn't that another $1000???

Lots of existing chargers can be used on Lithium's. Dual Pro and MK are two I know of.
