I always wanted a Chet battery.  I opted for the Nocqua, but if I am being honest, this battery kinda sucks.  I have had 3 of them, and I am 100% failed.  none of them, charged past 12.11 volts in very short order.   I keep them around to charge up cell phones during blackouts, and they run my line of LED lights at camp.

I ponied up the cash for a Amped battery and it has been amazing.  I have run my 7" Garmin fish finder for 9 hours and it goes down to 13v on the fish finder overlay thing.  quick charge back at home and I am ready for the next adventure.  the thing wasn't that expensive. 

I run my trolling motor with a 24V 60aH Dakota Lithium, and I way overbought.  I think a 30ah would be a better fit.  i think I can go 3 days.  something like 8-9 hours.

Interesting, I’ve had really good experiences with my 10 and 5 Ah Nocqua batteries.I don’t have tons of use on them but maybe 10-20 uses and they seem to be holding up.
