Yes. The bms (Battery Management System) wont allow it to put out the required current to fully crank the motor long enough to start. It lacks about another second or 2. It's just in the setup of the bms. Otherwise I feel they are a great trolling battery, and always answer the phone when called, and answer all your questions. They originally are in the rv market.
Thanks for that info...
Imagine that, you're from New York. After reading your post I figured Cali or NY and I was right. Musk and his investors should be footing the bill for that project, they're the ones that will profit from it whereas all the illegals affect all of us so build the wall.
Nice to see another company offering lithium for the boat. Thanks stewartgl for the battle born link.
Now Battle Born batteries is active on BBC. The warrantee is 3 year free replacement and 2 year pro rated. I have been running them for couple months now on my ultrex 112 and love them. They never die, drop off, or even seem like I stress them. For an even better deal on these use coupon code Buck50! to receive $100 off per battery.

Do you need a special charging system for the battleborn batteries? I will need to replace my batts before next season, and my ranger could stand to lose a few hundred pounds

i charge my relions with the free charger they gave me that's programmed to charge them
The way it was explained to me was that lithium batteries don't have a RC rating as the calculation is like the number of minutes it takes for the battery to fall below 10.5 volts at a discharge rate of 25 amps. Apparently the voltage of lithiums remains flat until it is fully discharged. I don't know what the best way to compare would be.

True, lithium batteries are rated in AH. However when you and if you look at every company that provides a lithium battery they will provide a reserve capacity for their batteries. This reserve capacity is how long(typically measured in minutes) it takes that 100ah* battery to be discharged to a certain voltage with a certain load. Example if you look at Lithionics, Lithium Pros, and Relion they all provide a reserve capacity for their batteries with a particular load. Lithionic 110ah battery has a 264 minute reserve capacity before it reaches the cutoff voltage.
Would it not be as simple as just dividing the load into the ah rating to get the time in hours, then multiply by 60 to get your minutes? 50 amps/ 100 ah = 2 hrs = 120 min. 20 amps/100 ah = 5 hours = 300 minutes...and so on. What am I missing, aside from some loss of efficiency due to wire runs? Are the ah ratings not right? I'm assuming the ah ratings they give are 12v ah ratings. If not that could add some complication...

One thing you have to remember is if you discharge a lead acid battery at 50% depth of discharge it will effect the number of cycles that it will have. Not even mentioning a drop off in power. Battle Born batteries can be discharged well below 50% and there is no drop off. With my old lead acid batteries I would typically run on 5 on my Ultrex as the day went on I would have to move the speed setting up due to the drop off. My Battle Born batteries I run on speed setting 3 to 4 all day. I see no drop off.. It's solid all day.. When the weather cools and I'm going to log some 12 hr days and I am confident i will see no drop off on trolling power, and the number of cycles will be many times more than older technology.
