    This may be stupid, but how would these compare to a 105ah agm battery? I was planning on getting the Duracell marine batteries from Sam's for my TM.

    EDIT: Ok, I did some searching, someone correct me if I am wrong.

    So a 105ah AGM battery is good for 50% of its capacity in normal use so I could get 52.5ah of useful capacity and a 60ah lithium (LiFEPO4) would be good for 80% of its capacity for 48ah. If that is the case I am going to pick up a couple of the amped batteries. No tax and no core really make this even out even more.

    Just need a proper charger though.

    I now have a MK 345 PC charger. I have heard that this is not the best way to charge lithium. What would I need for a charger? I have been thinking about getting lithium for electronics and lighting.

    Enough reports says the PC will be fine. Just don't pay attention to the status LED until it says done charging

    Well you mention SAMs Club batteries. I have 3 wet cell 31s that are great and cost $94 each. You could buy three for the price of one lithium. Change them all out every two years and you finally get to the cost of the lithium batteries after 6 years.

    And for me, my troller batteries last about three years, so, strictly from an economic viewpoint, it makes no sense. However, I can see other advantages that others appreciate, such as weight savings, increased hole shot, better boat performance, less fuel, not having to charge each time out, quick charging, battery apps on the phone, etc.

    I won't have batteries that I have to maintain on my boat. I don't have them anywhere else, no sense having them on a new boat. AGM 31 is $180 +$27 core + $18 tax gets me to $225, Paying $369 for a battery that is lighter and lasts longer seems reasonable. I also like the fact that I can salvage some space under my console, that is prime real estate to me.

    Lithium costs will continue to drop as more players enter the market. Most are manufactured by the same company anyway

    Comparing a lead acid battery to a lithium battery is like comparing a Honda Civic to a Ferrari. They both do the same thing just one of them does it 10 thousand times better in every way. Nothing wrong with the lead acid until you use a lithium. I will never run a lead acid/AGM battery again... 3 years ago I was the guy saying WTF $800 for a battery your crazy! Prices have come down and they are a true game changer. Still have AGM for my cranking but I run a Yamaha so...

    just curious, why are they 10 thousand times better? Just curious about that statement.
