[QUOTE="FuzzyGrub, post: 500736, member: 3438"] While I’m years away from needing to replace the two lead-acid batteries that power our Xi3, it will be with two 100ah 12v LiPoFe ones. I think the 50ah is borderline for our full day fishing outings. Unlike the LA batteries, the Li BMS will shut-off vs just weak performance. Also, if over night charging is not available, can go most of the second day. It is my understanding that you don’t want to expose them to freezing temps. So, for our early spring and late fall fishing will have to remove/install them. Handling the two 12v would be easier than a large 24v one. They physically fit our console config, vs rearranging for the 24v. Also current charger can do 12V Li, vs buying a new charger. The 50lb weight savings will be welcome in the jet boat. Anyway, some of my rationale that may/may not apply to you. [/QUOTE]
