Time to replace my 3 trolling motor batteries. Has anyone used any of the cheaper priced 50ah Lithium batteries off of Amazon or elsewhere, if so what was or has your experience with them been? Would you do it again?

I bought 2 100ah lifepo 4 off amazon, so far so good.

I use them on 2 of our blinds that have door actuators (yeah, I know) to lift the doors to the pit blinds.

put them on a solar panel to maintain charge.

Ionic 125a is pretty popular on here. I’ve been running mine for 2 1/2 years now. Also powers 4 12” graphs, livescope and everything else.

I've had good luck with a variety of different Amazon brands. LiTime is currently in my boat
