[QUOTE="sonny.barile, post: 500705, member: 18154"] I finally got a weather window to get out and do some testing. TM - MG xi3 55 lb. 12v. Battery - 65 amp lifepo4 Boat - 16 ft I checked boat speed going with the tidal current on max TM speed for 2 minutes. I was moving at 3.8 mph. Then I turned it into the current and speed dropped to 1.8 mph. I ran it against the tidal current on max. TM speed for 30 minutes non stop then used the spotlock for an additional 10 minutes. When I got home I checked the voltage and it was just over 13.3v. That equates to 90 percent capacity remaining. Seems like a solid battery choice for my use. The price was great as I ended up paying $229 The lost weight in the bow made loading and unloading easier. I could feel the difference…….. [/QUOTE]
