    Never heard of anyone using them but the phrase "you get what you pay for" screams out to me.

    I'll know in a couple months. I just put to Li Time 100ah in my boat. Have not been out yet. If they don't do good, I'll replace with 2 new Everstarts from Walmart. I'm not paying $700-900 for a 12v battery, so I'm taking the chance on $250 batteries.

    Have you watched the youtube videos by Will Prowse? If not, take a look. Very tempting (and interesting) stuff out there. Good luck.

    I've got bargain brand batteries in my boat. Redodo Power "Justin5" will get you 5% off. I've also got another bargain brand. No real reason to go with a "premium brand" other than saying "I only run XXXXXX brand "

    Currently have one ECO-Worthy 50ah LifePo4 battery that I'm using for my Livescope setup. I'll know after a few trips whether or not it's gonna be worth the $159 I paid for it.

    And, of course, after seeing it on my FB feed & clicking on the link to check it out, I'm seeing 3-4 different other brands almost daily.

    I’ve recently installed 3 Amazon batteries 100ah for 24v TM and one for electronics. It’s going on the 4th month using them and I can’t say one thing bad about them. I push my TM hard chasing open water fish @ 2-2.5mph for 6-8 hours each trip. I try to fish 2-3 days every week and I have been impressed. No issues and there’s around 50-60% left after each trip. Just remember to chose some batteries that has Bluetooth capabilities so you can check state of charge. And some with a BMS to protect them.

    I run a Dakota 60Ah for my Livescope.
    Pricey but no complaints so far.

    The Eco-Worthy batteries caught my eye when I was looking. I was always curious regarding them.

    I have had real good success with the deep cycle Vatrer brand. They also have really good tech support. Good BMS systems.
