What caught your eye. Spec's seem normal. Not familiar with the brand but the price sounds like many others. The Elite guy's are not big names, at least at this stage of their careers. Have you looked at the Ionics? Drew is a well respected dealer here on the forum. I know nothing about Impulse one way or another, but if you can get similar prices why not go with a known commodity.

its $300 per battery cheaper so $900 and 10 year warranty vs 5. Lee livesay , frank tally and bill weidler who I believe owns the company. They all won an elite series this year, clearly they can compete. Either way if a pro runs em , they need reliability. I just think the price is fair and I’m not paying someone $300 more for the same thing just because they are a sponsor or whatever on here , that doesn’t make sense to me. Just wondering if anyone is running em. They are $100 off and free shipping. Looked at all of em seems Dakota and impulse have best warranty
I am not a super fan but pro's sign contracts with companies to make money. I am sure the batteries work. The issue with batteries in longevity and replacement. $300 cheaper than the big reliable, established companies with a history of good service. Buy what you want. You asked for opinions. Bob

The 10 year warranty on the ai pulse is pretty straightforward s far as total coverage. No the specs are qual to other top tier lithium batteries.
I wouldn’t be afraid to buy them. I’ll need new TM batteries before long. These are definitely a contender. Yeah, it’s a newer name on the scene, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be around. Ionic isn’t that old. They’ve build a good reputation in a short time. Hopefully, a impulse does too.
The others need more competition from companies that will drive the prices lower for comparable Lithium marine batteries. Heyerdahl still too high.
Hope someone can give a firsthand account of what they think.

Just ordered them, Weidler gave me a code for an additional $50 off each battery. He is also running a skeeter this year with power pole charge and said it’s good to go.
Ionic has a track record. Companies like Relion and Battleborn are around the $1000 mark for 100 Ah and they have a longer track record.(and sales) More than 7 years. What counts is if these companies honor their commitments and also stay in business. It is all a judgment call and a gamble with new tech let alone new companies these days. JMO Bob

Impulse is owned by an elite series angler. Works for me...
Not the same company anymore. I have seen no complaints. A few problems that were handled quickly and the customers were pleased. I have heard zero about Impulse as the many others popping up lately. I hope every one has good luck with whatever they buy. I paid the premium price so I would not have to wonder. If the money is paramount do research and pick one. Bob

I researched buying my own LiFePo4 cells from China. Building my own battery and the cost for small quanities was about $250.00 per 100 AH battery with a quality BMS. There is a lot of room for lower prices from these companies and the prices keep coming down from China.

Read the fine print on all the warranties. Pretty much they have a clause to cover themselves every which way.
We all have to start somewhere..
I'm glad to see the competition. I took a gamble on Ionics when they first started based solely on lower price.

pretty much if you havent exceded the cycles and battery isnt returned with a hole in the case or looks like it tumbed around in the back of a pickup Impulse will send you a new one within 10 years... no advertised 10 or 11 year warranty then they want to pro rate it. Its a true 10 year warranty.
If battery does not have built in bluetooth I am not buying.
