Re: Lithium battery for TM?

The main difference is the group 31 case. I believe they also raise the constant discharge rate as well. Most 12v x100ah batteries are a group 24 or 27 size which is what I prefer.

It is feasible that 25 and 30yrs ago there were two lakes in CA that had a pure strain of each. Unfortunately, if the results were only based on DNA and not the phenotype the results will be only so accurate. The fact is we have a mixture of the two and so does most of the world.

It depends on the application. For the average newer boat in the 20-21ft range I would go with 3 X 12V 100ah batteries for the TM and stay with a high-quality AGM for the cranking. You may need a charger depending on what you have. The cost is anywhere from $2200-3500.
