    My question to many of you who go cheaper and less expensive. How much is your personal time worth? My approach is spend a little more upfront on an established product and use my “saved” time on fishing and my family. Just my thought

    It made sense for me because for my situation I really only needed it for a year or two. Like I said I run 2 Ionic 100ah for the trolling motor but my old outboard can't use a lithium for cranking so I needed a dedicated lithium for electronics until I repower. I plan to put a new motor on it in a year or two and then I'll go with the big Ionic cranking battery for starting the motor and electronics. I decided to go this route just to try out the cheaper one compared to the Ionics and when I repower if it's still good I plan on giving it to my buddy for his boat. I'm not a tournament fisherman or anything like that so it wasn't a case of do or die if my battery failed. I just really wanted some real world experience with the Li Time to try them out and run it through the ringer so to speak. I will say that I love my Ionics and Drewtick is the man! He went above and beyond to make me happy when I bought them and I definitely feel more comfortable dealing with him if I were to ever have warranty issues. My trolling motor is on the boat for the long haul hence is why I went with the Ionics for that.
