    The batteries internal temp is what counts. Either way 99% charge is actually better than 100%. Less stress on the battery. When your charger is off and the battery rests or has had something drawing any power for a short time, 13.3 or 4 is What you will read. The link I sent is very informative on these type batteries. Or call whoever you bought them from tomorrow for reassurance if needed. JMO Bob

    The latest version of the Ionic app is designed that way, if you are getting 14.1 v
    They are at 100%
    The app is calibrated so that it doesn't show 101%
    There will be a slight variation between some batteries and some may register 100 and some 99% be feel assured that are good to go

    Thank you very much I buy from you my 3 50Amp batteries and 4bank charger. I have one question about starting battery for Mercury Verado 250hp. I think Mercury not approved lithium batteries for Mercury Outboards and Mercury Verado. Do you know anything about this and du you know anybody who using Ionic batteries for starting big Mercury Verado 250hp. Thank you

    The IONIC 125ah will work with the Verado 250, I have sold many to people running them and over 1000 this year alone for the proxs 4 strokes , there are some BBC members running the Verado 300 with the 125ah

    mine stay's at 99% for the full charge. Figured it was just a safety or something to do with BMS.

    I have the ionic 125 ah and it's a beast!

    I thinking to buy one 125amp for my Verado 250hp. Are you using Ionic 125amp for your big motor, starting battery?

    Another Ionic User here, my setup is Two 12 volt 100 amps ran in parallel to crank My Evinrude E-Tec 200HP HO, 3 Lowrance HDS Live graphs, Active Target, Lights, SonicHub, Accesories etc, and one 36v 50 amp Trolling motor battery that runs my ghost, by far I think Ionics are the best on the market as of now for lithium and I think you’ll love em! But here’s to your question, the Verados alternator puts out a lot of amps, around 70 I Believe, My engine Is high output as well, E-Tec HO (High Output) and puts out about 50, both pretty high for 200-250 HP motors... my Ionic 100 amps Have absolutely no issues with my E-Tec and I believe a 125 amp would be even better for your Verado if you can buy two 125amps and run them in parallel that would be the optimal setup to crank and Run your electronics etc, and if ran in parallel you won’t have to worry because the alternator of the engine will have to share the charge to BOTH batteries, making it way less stressful of the BMS of the battery if you only had one, I believe to Really make it A 100% no issue system with an engine like that Verado. (One 125 amp would work, but I suggest going with two if your battery compartment has the room for it. I would be Putting two 125 amps ran in parallel hooked up to the Verado and your electronics and Accesories. LithiumHub.com (the website of the Makers of ionic lithium batteries) have all the batteries on a huge sale right now... I got all my batteries from LithiumHub and it was awesome because they don’t charge you any tax which is a plus, and free shipping I believe, I believe the 125 amp ionic is usually $1200-1300 but they have it on sale for $800 I believe, I hope I was able to answer some of your questions.

    thanks Bob It's a very good read to understand lifepo4 batteries.

    perhaps a sticky would be great.

    Have the two batteries ever disconnected themselves from the motor?

    I did not think that an Ionics 100 AH battery had a BMS that would not disconnect itself from the electrical generation system. Am I wrong?

    Are your battery cables connected directly to the two paralleled lithium batteries?

    the IONIC 100ah has the same BMS as the 125ah fully compatible for use as a cranking battery and no problems disconnecting running 1 or 2 in parallel
