Hi, Thanks all: GREAT site!

So my 1988 25 ft. Boston Whaler is going to come into the 21st century with new electrical.

I'm going to stator/regulator charge a pair of Chargex (Tampa, FL) 12.8v 75aH lithium iron batteries on my (2) 1998 150 HP OMC FFI outboards.
I have 40A available for the battery charge on each of the two outboards.

Later this summer I am going to add a 3rd Chargex battery, probably a 200aH, for the Garmin radar and plan a solar install as well.

My buddies here at the marina are ABYC certified and one has a ABYC Master Cert, so I think I'm in good hands.

Any horror stories or better yet rave reviews on the lithium battery brand that conquered outer space with lithium batteries a decade and a half ago?

Chargex Batteries looks like they have lots of safety features like cell nuts and studs, each cell is independently internally fused and are filled with fire retardant electrolyte!

Looks like from a vibration standpoint they are among the best out there.

Interesting lifetime guarantee, with a 1/2 price prorate if it ever needs to be replaced or repaired!

Thanks for any opinions and/or modifications on my project!

Safe Voyages!
