Anyone tried the lithium batteries from BPS?
Anyone tried the lithium batteries from BPS?
2020 Ranger 521L Tour, 300 Mercury, 112 Minn Kota Ultrex
3 12" Helix Units, Mega Si, Mega Di, Mega 360, Garmin 8412 W LiveScope mounted on Rite Hite Turret.
Bought the 100HP earlier this year and have not had a hiccup with it.
Have had mine 2 years. Got them using points earned from my BPS card. Love them. 2 - 100 AH for the trolling motor and 1 - 100 AH HP for cranking and electronics.
If they die within warranty, I’ll just walk into to the nearest store and replace.
I looked at them quite a bit before I decided to go with Ionics. The convenience of being able to walk in and get them, or return them, was very attractive (I have 3 Cabelas stores with 45 mins of my home). Ultimately, the price difference and bluetooth won out in favor of Ionics. The BPS/Relions were almost 2x as much as the Ionics when packaged together (starting and trolling) and with the BBC discount.
BPS lithiums are some of the most overpriced batteries out there. Go with Ionics, or even Impulse, and save a ton of money.

"It's just fishing"
I have run them in my 2021 Ranger Z520L for two years and the only problem was with the charger that came in the boat after it was replaced under warranty no more issues.
rebadge relion as far as I can tell
Fish have fins, they swim
Yep they are exactly that. Was in a pinch to get a starting battery before a fishing trip and wanted to start down the lithium path. Earlier this year there were no 'quick' fixes except this one which is 30 miles from the house. So far it has worked great with power poles, 3 graphs, hydraulic jackplate attatched. When the 3 AGM's give up the ghost they will be replaced with lithiums also. But my battery says Relion in small letters on the side.
I would suspect BPS does not make these batteries.
Umm, unless they changed the labels on them recently, they say Relion right on them.
Go with Ionics and get with Andy / Drewcraft here on BBC! Best customer service in the business and the Ionics are solid and have a great reputation.
