Thought my one year old Ghost was "giving up the ghost" last week. It ran fine at 3-4 power, anything over that it sort of lurched and just didn't seem right. Checked for line behind the prop. Nada. Called Lowrance and he gave me a walk through list to do on the water to trouble shoot. As always I had charged up the batteries last night to make sure they were at full power for this morning. When unplugging the charger noticed two of the batteries at only 25%. Looked at purchase date stamps and all three tm batteries are Oct 2017. I'll take dang near five years service on lead acids any day. So, I have decided I'm going with three Ionic 50ah's. Don't need or want advice on what kind/brand or how many or how big to get. I'm getting three 50ah Ionics. Just need to know who has the best deal on em', and a reputable dealer with a good service history in case of issues. I'm in Austin. I'll swap them out myself. FYI, best price I've found is around $399 each shipping included. Thanks!

My lead acids just went out and I went with ionic 50ah. There was a memorial day sale going on, 5% off. That was the best I found.

Did this two years ago, bought em on line for $500 each, don't think you can beat that through any dealer, just make sure you have a charger that will charge Lithiums.

99% of dealers don’t provide the support Andy does at Drewcraft.

Honestly, I’d buy from Andy even if there was a dealer right beside me. Great communication, really knows the products he sells, extremely fast shipping and he’s very helpful if you have questions. I bought Gatorbaks from him, as well as led lighting, and I just bought a 100ah Ionic battery. Plus some other small stuff. I can’t recommend him enough, and he sells chargers for the lithium if your current charger isn’t compatible with lithium batteries.

I'm a dealer here in San Antonio for ionic and provide support to my customers when it comes to battery issues regardless of the brand that was purchased or if bought elsewhere. I also stock them in my store as well.
