    Lithium Question

    Ok all you experts, installing my 126 UHD2, LVS34 package soon.

    Li Time 12V 50Ah <<< or >>> ECO-WORTHY 12V 50Ah

    Li Time is ~ $100 more, but non-issue if it is that much better, I think it's also ~ 1# less and a smaller footprint.


    What say you?

    50 amps is 50 amps regardless who makes it

    I have a feeling you're not quite comparing apples-to-apples for that price delta.

    LiTime 50Ah - $160
    Eco-Worthy 50Ah - $160 ($-)
    LiTime 50Ah w/Bluetooth - $210 (+$50)

    Eco has a 3yr warranty, LiTime also has a 5yr warranty.


    I'd go LiTime w/bluetooth personally.

    I bought a 100 AH Eco-Worthy from eBay for $126 (now $148) to run my Garmin and Lowrance graphs. It doesn't have bluetooth, but neither did my AGM :) I'm very happy with the battery and the price. Watched plenty of YouTube videos of that battery getting taken apart and the components inspected. Surprisingly good quality inside.

    Cells are the same. Quality of wiring, connections and BMS (battery management system) should be similar.

    This is a really good charger for overnight. No reason for 10a unless you need faster.

    I've run the Eco-Worthy 50A hr battery for over a year on my Echomap 106sv Ultra + Echomap 93sv UHD + GLS10/LVS34 system. No problems.
