    2004 Ranger 521 Lithium Battery

    Long shot. Anyone have a pic of the (ionic)lithium battery configuration in the sump of their boat 1 crank and 3 12 volts. Not sure the three will all fit on the passenger side well. Thanks

    is the lithium battery larger than a standard group 31? I have mine set up so it's 2 left, 2 right and oil tank in the middle.

    The fit in a 4-battery system really depends upon the size of the batteries. Two left and two right is always going to work. If an oil tank and power pole pumps are involved, they should be able to fit in the center. I’ve never seen 3 trolling batteries on one side, but theoretically it could work if the batteries in question were smaller lithiums, like 50ah. I have 80 ah lithium trolling batteries in my boat [3 of them], and they are the same size as 27 series wet cell batteries.

    I have 3-50Ah Ionic batteries on the passenger side, a group 31 lead acid starting battery on the drivers side and an oil reservoir and 4 bank Ionic charger in the center. Getting rid of the 3 lead acid trolling motor batteries and the charging systems 4 bank charger resulted in significant weight reduction in the back end. I have a much shallower draft now and need to drop the engine on the jack plate one notch otherwise prop blows out when getting on plane with the jack plate at highest position.
