Tesla has an app that gives you battery charge control. They recommend a 90% charge unless you know you will have a long drive. I know some of the marine batteries come with an app and I assume it would control the charge as well. Modern lithium batteries can also be plugged in anytime without affecting the life of the battery. We are probably a few years off from regular use of lithium starting batteries in trucks and cars, but I think I saw an article about Honda switching over to them. They are available, but the average person is not going to spend $650-$1000 for a starting battery on their vehicle. See: https://antigravitybatteries.com/productline/starter-batteries/automotive

I had bought a 125ah ionic for cranking and all electronics/accessories and two 50ah ionics for my 24v Terrova. Sold the two 50ah and bought two 100ah Chins for the trolling motor. Dont think I will be lacking for power ever. Lithiums are boss. Wondering how much longer lead acid will be produced seeing how they are now obsolete. Looking forward to the next battery breakthrough. A single battery the size of a cell phone to power everything on the boat will be sweet. More than likely the outboard itself will go electric and have the capability to supply endless power to everything on board.
Almost every vehicle in the world still uses lead acid batteries, I don’t see them going anywheres. Everything used electric filament light bulbs forever too. Those days are over. Lead acid days are numbered as well. As soon as the prices dictate lead acid will become extinct. I don’t see it, lithium’s don’t like to be fully charged all the time and their lifespan diminishes when they stay fully charged. I don’t see a way that they ever work in regular automobiles. This is one of the reasons why they don’t recommend lithiums for marine starting batteries. Now maybe lead acids are replaced by agms in vehicles at some point, but all manufacturers care about is cheap. Supposedly Walmart is going to start carrying some lithiums for marine/rv service, should help lower the price. I have read about some kind of new battery technology that will kill off lithiums already, but it’s over my head. Edit: I’m not arguing that lead acid are better or anything, I just don’t see them going away anytime soon. Maybe their future in marine use is limited, but then agm takes their spot. And this 16v battery thing, I just find odd. I know the claims, doubt it too. must have a special charger for the 16v. otherwise you will just get the normal 13.5-14v
