Has anyone got any personal experience with them. I like the idea of having one battery that is SUPPOSED to last longer than a normal battery. And the weight would obviously be a help in a bassboat with running and gotta think gas mileage. Maybe not much but some yes. So can anyone help me out? Any experiences?

Charge time is 1.5 hrs. Could not run them dead in 3 days of fishing. Stay charged for one year. Weigh less than one 31tm battery.5000 cycles if you discharge to 50% 2500 cycles if you go 80%. Should last ten years. No corrosion. Any questions call me 817.996.3079. Just put some in a friends Skeeter. They are the future. Don If you're not happy naked you won't be happy with clothes on.

He says total weight is 132 lbs vs 300 for his AGM's. 42 pounds savings per battery. Thats only 13k by the time you get a charger. The batteries are also considerably larger that our lead batteries. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT1HSzs4w-0&feature=player_embedded

That should eliminate the need for more batteries right? Or am I terribly wrong? Originally Posted by lakeforkfisherman I can backlash toilet paper.

Where are you getting that info? It doesnt seem like Martens would say his batteries weigh 132 pounds if there were only one trolling and one starting battery. Look here at the 36 volt kit. It is three 100ah rated batteries. Unless they have redefined the Amp Hour rating, you will need the biger batteries to be comparable. http://www.lithiumion-batteries.com/prod...battery-kit.php
