So I am in the process of repowering my marquesa, adding a little weight on the back end so Id like to shed it else where. My TM batteries (24v) live in my console and are reaching the end of their life span so im looking at a 24v lithium but all the brands out there make it hard to narrow down. SO does anyone have them, if so what brand do you like and where did you buy from.

Looking for a 24v system to live in my console, TM comes off the boat during the summer but the batteries stay in so if i can reduce weight id like to. I know the cost is there but I like to buy once and cry once, so if i get 10 years out of it I feel I got my moneys worth.

Lithium Pros have a great warranty of 10 years if I believe but I do have a buddy that had one crap out within the first year. Im sure it was a fluke and it was replaced.

If I could do it over again being in Jax I would upgrade my 55lb xi5 to a 80lb 24v xi5 and run a single 24v lithium and call it a day.

Also speaking with a few battery reps locally they say the lithium prices are dropping a few hundred dollars anually. Overseas most countries only run lithium now and I have no idea why America is so late to the game. The only downfall with a lithium battery is IF it catches fire you cant put it out, but honestly if my AGM caught fire then itll prob burn enough to do some damage and then I'll have some nice new deck/hull work done through insurance haha.
