So which ones did you get?

Tempting. Two batteries fit into one tray and only weigh 33lbs. That's significant weight savings in an 18' boat. 700.00 is still a bunch of money... but...
2005 Triton TR-196
1990 ProCraft ProCaster 180
I got 3 50ah and 1 100 ah
$350 for the 50ah is cheap.....5 yr warranty....

Is a 50ah equivalent to a group 29?

Finally a US dealer with competitive pricing.
These are probably the same ones made by KS Energy, since they look just like mine, and same warranty length.
Only difference is, mine has the built in LCD screen.
I haven't used mine yet, so I cant give a performance review.
What is the feedback on these batteries? Anybody tested the warranty or anything. I would be curious to hear some customer feedback. What is the charger recommendations on these?
The batteries say they have Bluetooth communication, no meter needed then. To say 50 amp lithium is the same might not be. If lead acid batteries are only used to the proper DOD that statement applies. I don't think most stop using their their lead acids down to 12.1 volts and stop. I constantly see people talk about reading 11 volts or less. Point is if you use you 100 ah batteries below 12.1 you are actually going beyond the the 50 ah and at that point the Lithium would be depleted but the lead acid would have another 50 amp hours available. Not a good practice, but if you are doing that regularly the 50 ah lithium would not keep you fishing as long as the Lead acids. If the US dealer does the replacement of defective batteries locally these are a big improvement over dealing directly with the Chinese manufacturer. Actual apples for apples competition should help get prices down. Good for us. Bob
Just bought the 125ah for a starting battery, Shipped very fast. Bluetooth is great. Turned everything on, was pulling around 10amps, and app told me I had around 14hours of runtime remaining. It also tells you how long until fully charged.

Did you get documentation on Cranking amps? I did not see that listed on their spec's. Bob
The only pertinent number I see is 350 amp peak current. A Relion spec for their 100ah dual purpose battery is 800 peak discharge amps. I guess if your 250 xs cranks it should be ok.

AH is a well defined standard. Once a battery produces its rated AH, the output voltage is 10.5V. That is the definition of AH. You draw power until the output drops to 10.5V. No matter what the technology, a 50AH battery is 10.5V after providing 50AH.
A lithium can be pushed to the extreme without the damage a lead-acid suffers, but you still can’t use the full capacity as a lot of marketing BS claims because the voltage is too low to be useful.
If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
nothing else matters.
With all that said.
Would you trust 3 of the 50ah batteries to run a 36 volt ultrex all day in the West Texas wind ??
I was about to pull the trigger on 2 50AHs when I saw that price, but then noticed max discharge is 50AH, so thinking they won't work with an 80lb Terrova. Doh!
