    Anyone Running Relion RB-100 HP for staring batteries?

    Hey guys just wondering if anyone out there have tried using the relion RB-100 HP lithium batteries for starting/ electronics.Did they work with your motor's charging system? any other problems? Im putting 2 of them in my 2019 skeeter fx with a yamaha SHO 250 for 200AH, and was wondering if anyone has had problems with the charging systems on this motor or any motor. shutting off etc. I think the 2014 sho's didnt work with these batteries but dont know about newer models. any info helps thanks!

    Just wanted to get back to you guys now that i have had a chance to get out on the water with these batteries. I have two RB-100-HP in parallel on a 2018 yamaha sho. they work great! no problems at all. ive been out in some cold weather too and no problems starting. 6000 rpm and no signs of shut downs. whatever problem people were having with these batteries was either fixed with relion or yamaha fixed something in 2015-2016 area. Its awsome having a lead acid equivalent of 400 amp hours. I run 3 humminbird 12" a 10" and a 10" garmin graphs all day and doesnt even come close to being dead! For the price of one lithiumpro battery you can have 2 of these and have more power then you know what to do with haha. my two cents. Tight lines!

    Thinking about changing over my 2019 FX21 as well. What did you have to do for the cranking battery? Will the SHO alternator work with the lithium? I had seen where a regular charger doesn't know to quit charging with lithium batteries. Looks like the minkota 4 bank will have to be changed out to a lithium charger when trolling motor batteries are converted. Also I am looking at the Dakota lithiums any input on them?

    Thanks for any help given
