The best bang for your buck is at Walmart for $99.00
You can order from amazon and get lithiums cheaper, warranty could be an issue though.

Look at GYLL, I have a 100AH running 3 12” units and 1 of the 3 is a Garmin 1222. The Garmin has a voltage readout on the screen and it’s yet to drop below 12.4V and I generally fish 7-9 hours per trip. Look up David @ Shut Up and Fish in Lewisville, he’s a distributor.

The cheapest lithium batteries are not designed for marine environments—you would have to make your own water tight case. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2021/10/full-30144-115125-79dba62c_9fe4_46d0_baa6_cf6516d66db4.jpeg)

Got one two weeks ago. I used the Walmart online site to find an Everstart group 29 in stock nearest my location. Just looked; they are currently out of stock

i just bought two 100ah 12v "CHINS" lithium on amazon. Several fishing guys are using them with great results. I will try out these two on 24v on my Lowrance Ghost and if I like them, will probably add the 3rd and run on the 36V setting.

Most of ours down in this area have them still, but not exactly a fisherman’s paradise for boaters down here either. I’m sure the Pickens are slimmer in East & North Texas. (I have no clue where your county is)

I have the same exact setup with a Nocco charger set on Lithium. It works great. Call David at Shut Up and Fish and he will hook you up.

I ran the Ionic lithium batteries for a year (36v Ultrex) and they did good until one of them died. Ionic stood by their warranty and sent a new battery. He mentioned to me that a power pole charge wasn't the best charger to use for lithium batteries if you run 3 12v for TM. If you run a single 24 or 36 then its fine. I sold those and went with the Battle Born Batteries 100ah and have been please! Again, a Power Pole Charge was not recommended for us with 3 12v batteries. I ordered a new 4 bank MK 460 PC and set it to agm as recommended. The 100ah lasted all day this past weekend in 25mph winds on Guntersville with plenty left.

Wow. 60ah for $299 is an awesome price for the trolling motor.

I've been testing ampowsure lithium out of Hutto for a few weeks now. No issues and no different than the BattleBorns I've tested against. 12v, 24v and 36v 50ah is what I've tested with their own charger. Owner has a PhD in batteries, guy really knows his stuff. I think they'll do great having a central location especially in Texas. Don't think they are readily available until 2022
