Weavester, how much are you depleting those batteries in a day? Do you ever troll with your electric?
In 8hrs of fishing, I'd be trolling with my bow mount for about 4 hours and using the spot lock for the other 4. I've never had an issue with my 2 lead acid batteries running out of juice in a day. As long as I can charge them up at night I'm good to go the next day. If it's calm out I can get a couple of days without charging.
My reading tells me that Lithium batteries can be depleted to a much lower level than lead acid batteries. This is supposed to let you get away with lithium batteries that have quite a bit lower Ah rating. I've read that my group 27 batteries could be replaced with 50Ah batteries ..... about half the Ah rating of my lead acids.
Those Dakota Lithium would be the easy choice but I'm still curious about the Alberta Lithiums.
