    Lithium Pro's

    Anyone have experience with these? They out of Knoxville and advertise a 215ah cranking battery. I'm going to spend a pile of money to re-do my batteries and I want to make sure I get it right. If this is accurate, 215ah would solve all my problems.

    Lithium Pros are one of the original lithium companies and has good reputation as far as I was able to tell when I went down the lithium rabbit hole. I'm sure a 12V battery that size will solve a lot of problems.....

    I actually saw that 215 ah on their website. Expensive, but it would take a lot of hours to drain that sucker LOL...

    That's Impressive and exactly what I'm trying to achieve. The Lithium Pros advertise that they are fine with a charger that works on AGM. Other batteries say they need a charger for Lithium. This stuff is over my head and honestly kinda frustrating. I'm just trying to make a good decision (especially with how much this is going to cost) so I can get back to fishing.

    A charger with an AGM setting will charge any of the "mainstream" lithiums but the batteries won't get fully charged. If you want that last 10%-15%, then you need a charger with a lithium profile.

    What is the voltage when a charger is set to an AGM setting?

    My Minn Kota Precision charger set to AGM batteries charges my Ionics up to 100% without any issues.

    My Power Pole Charge set for lithium’s? Well, 2 of the 3 trolling motor batteries get to 99 or 100%. The other third battery? Well let’s just say there are issues the the PPC.

    I actually just purchased this battery and it’s a few hundred dollars cheaper if you go through one of their dealers. Plus this battery is pretty tall and I’ll need to add extensions so it will fit in my battery tray.

    true with most chargers with a agm setting yes, some charge it less then even that. However the Minn Kota Precision charger on the agm setting will bring lithiums to 100 percent.

    Thanks. Good to know. I have a PC charger in my tin boat and am about to put my set of 50Ahs in it.
