    Ionic 125ah spec.JPG

    Here's the spec's off of Lithium Hub's web site for the Ionic's. this is the 125ah, that I'm using for Starter/Crank as well as running all my accessories.

    I’m running 125ah as starter and 3- 50ah for Ultrex. I have a 2017 FX21LE. I run a Garmin 126sv with LiveScope on the bow and a HB Solix g2 15” at the console.

    Since I have a ZXR arriving this week I thought I call Yamaha and yup AGM batteries only. So since I have an extended engine warranty it doesn't make sense to go with a lithium even though I want too. The tech mentioned that the internal charging system on the engines have not been designed with lithium power in mind.

    this is what i did 60ah lithium to run electronics and run 10/2 to compartment to a switch from agm battery' i charge the lithium with a charger that is made for lithium. if my lithium runs out i can switch to agm cranking one reason i did this was when i would start the yamaha it would cut my humminbird off. i plan on running my trolling motor off lithium but going to wait and get as much as i can out of the batteries that come on my boat001.JPG

    Our 120 Ah IMPULSE platinum Cranker Contains Grade a plus matched Cylindrical cells ( not the cheaper prismatic cells) and a proprietary BMS made just for Cranking your SHO. It features our awesome Bluetooth app and has been tested on all Pro xs as well as Yamaha Sho outboards as well as G1 and G2 evinrudes. It also has as mentioned the best warranty in the business at a true 10 year w no proration. Its a 10 year repair or replace. Instock and $1050.00 with free shipping at K and K Kustomz. Yamaha can not void your warranty for running a lithium nor will they.

    They won't void your warranty, they will just refuse to pay for any damaged caused to or
    by the charging system.

    have been running a Relion RB100HP on my 2011 SHO for 4 seasons now with absolutely no problems. The issue with lithium is the charge voltage and not the amps of the charger. Lithium can charge at up to .5C or 50 amps on my 100 amp-hour battery

    It would just be nice for the motor manufacturers to address this and provide their owners a choice.

    2 full years running Ionic 125ah with my SHO and no issues and love the power, fast charging and App - in fact going to buy another to run in parallel just so I can go for 2-3 days without charging at all.

    Bro, I am no grammar or spelling Nazi, but a little punctuation goes a long way in conveying your message.
