Besides the brand, also think about service after the sale.
My choice is Ionic batteries. Been having a set of trolling motor batts going on a year now and not issues. Just used their cranking battery last weekend for the first time and worked great. Drew knows his stuff and is lots of help.

I went with Ionics based on reviews.

i use ionics no issues and love the bluetooth feature
Don’t just follow marketing hype, make sure you call them direct and ask questions. Some brands are great at marketing and taking your money, and if you have any issues good luck. Also don’t just chase who has the “best warranty.” Looks great on paper, but do they answer the phone when you need them?......
The folks at Lithium Hub are absolutely fantastic and why I chose Ionic. Before making my brand decision, I called them several times. All but one time they answered the phone, and the one time they didn’t, I left a message and they called me back the same day. They have an 8 year warranty and I can say with 110% confidence, if you ever have any issue they will take care of you. I have a complete Ionic set-up - 125AH Cranking battery, 50AH x 3 trolling batteries, charger, and jump box just in case. Everything is incredible and consistently impresses me. I can fish two to three full days based on wind conditions, and I run four 12” units and LiveScope.
If you go with Ionics makes sure you order the correct cranking battery for your outboard. The BMS is programmed for what outboard your running for over voltage purposes. The BMS is a vital part of purchasing a lithium cranking battery.
The icing on the cake is the Bluetooth APP - Love it!!!
There are so many batteries on the market and once you put marine on the label the price skyrockets. I was looking at tess but also hear great things about sok batteries.
Ionics. They have 8 year warranties if I remember correctly. Several dealers here in my state in case I ever do have issues.

Ionic X10... I have the complete setup including the 4 bank charger. Running two 12" Helix with 360 and one Garmin 12" Echomap with livescope, dual poles, hydrowave and both pumps all day. 53% charge left at end of day with no big motor run time. 30 minutes idle time late in the day, 99% at end of day. I have 100AH for TM and the lowest I've ever seen them was 63% in heavy current all day. If not the most, one of the best upgrades I have done. It so nice to not have to worry about having enough power to run everything all day.
I'm so undecided. Bought used boat and has 3 cheap wet cells for the tm. I think previous owner switched out. Plus a portable 36v charger good brand but really made for golf carts. I'd like to get a powerpole charge but is it worth the expense? Also can't decide agm or lithium. If agm I'd go duracells which are made by Deka $180ea. If lithium I'm looking at tess Electrics 100ah battery for $550ea. Worth it? Idk. I'd never pay some of the other brand lithium battery prices. They are way over priced because they say marine on them. So undecided. Click image
