How much are the AGM Intimidators? I think they are $250ish? The Duracell 31 AGM which is also Deka is $179 at sams club with same performance numbers

Why is 100ah Lithium overkill? Most wet cell or agm batteries are 100ah to 110ah. If I can run down 3 105ah wet cells in a day and a half, wouldn't 3 50ah lithiums run down in less than a day (3/4 day to be exact)?

Wet cell and AGM's only have about half their reserve available along with voltage drop with use. Lithium's voltage stays the same and have almost 100% capacity. Sounds crazy but a 50a Li will provide more run time then a 100a wet/agm.

Unlike agm wet they aren’t getting weaker performing less every re charge. That said if your worries about it buy 100ah they are cheap now compared to just two years ago. 50ah have lasted me 11-13 hour days in wind mostly on spot lock.

Bitch to get into my center console but hoping they last 5+ and I don't have to do that again. I'm 61 now. Not sure I could pull that off at 66.

I wish my Mercury could get away with 800 CCA!! I have used the 31 blue top for 5 years with good results. You have a SHO and basically the same electronics so most any of these suggestions should be good especially if you run the livescope off another power source. If it was me and your wallet I would for sure go with an Odyssey
