Anyone use the Bass tracker Lithium batteries from Bass Pro? If so what are your thoughts or are their better ones?

Def better out there with better warranty better price. Such as impulse or ionic.
They are made by Relion and so far the 100 ah one's for my trolling motor work very well.
Dakota has 11 year warranty and each battery comes with a charger.

Id buy a tracker w half the warranty before a dakota..Originally Posted by pavi69
Why is that? Tracker made in China and Dakota made in USA.

Tracker batteries made by and in Communist Red China.
I have 3 tracker 100s and love them.
Theres a difference between made in the USA and assembled in the USA with all china components. Customer service is lacking big time, make excuses when is a warranty claim, hard get ahold of, and numerous issues with there batteries all info from a former dakota dealer. Claim a 11 year warranty but severely pro rated. Issue w a tracker im sure it could be swapped out at a bass pro.
I defiantly lean towards dealing with board sponsors on here....I see Impulse has a 10 year warranty...

I will admit to know nothing about lithium batteries other than they are light, expensive, charge faster and are supposed to last longer than AMG.
On Dakota website they say "BUILT FROM THE SOIL OF NORTH DAKOTA - MADE IN AMERICA
LITHIUM IRON PHOSPHATE NANOPARTICLES
Our signature Lithium-Iron-Phosphate Nanopowder production process creates nanoparticles that are highly durable, creating batteries that charge and discharge faster & have significantly longer cycle life then traditional LFP."
Do they make the nano particles from the soil of North Dakota and ship that to China where the battery components are made or are the nano particles something that is added to components that they source from China?

yes sir , full 10 year NON PRORATED warranty. Unlike Dakota, the best warranty in the business.
Watch first 30 seconds..
Tracker Lithium are made by ReLion, arguably one of the lithium battery companies with the longest great track record. They also likely have the biggest financial support as they are backed by Bass Pro. While, I agree that the warranty is not the best, however, that being said since they are carried at a Brick and Mortar retailer, if one fails you can go immediately and exchange it within the warranty period.
They do lack a Bluetooth monitoring function.
I have had mine for about a month and they work great so far. Mine were courtesy of cabelas club points and if I were to shell out my own money would have 100% with Ionic.
No lithiums are made in America and you can find good deals on Alibaba.

As I start the process of going lithium to replace my Group 31 AGM batteries, the Tracker batteries are one I am looking at as well as some other brands.
Two things about the Tracker's I like so far. First, their specs, especially on the starting battery, show the charging voltage cutoff as 15.4 volts. My Mercury 4S alternators spits on 14.8-14.8. For Ionic and Impulse, the documented specs are cutoff at 14.6. We keep hearing Ionic's starting battery is actually higher, but I have yet to see it documented or in any of their specifications.
Second, I live within 40 mins of three Cabela's stores. Pretty easy to stop in if I have any issues under warranty.
I also don't get the comments about better prices? Seems Bass Pro's pricing is fairly inline with the others.
I'm still not to sure about companies giving 10 and 11 year warranties when most haven't even been in business that long
THE MORE YOU SAY THE MORE WE UNDERSTAND AND ACCEPT YOU ANYWAYS
