Hi All--I have watched a bunch of Will's videos and plan to upgrade my old "Group 24" coach battery to Lithium. He mentions the LiTime brand and I'm totally on board with that and the one he recommends with the low-temp charge cutoff (https://bit.ly/3t4BvsW). But it's a few inches longer and fractionally taller and wider for the compartment it fits in under the floor panel. Does staying with that size really matter? The Group 24 one doesn't have a low-temperature cutoff (https://bit.ly/49Z6aJ2). Should I forget all about the compartment and just plan on using up some storage space? Do many people upgrade to 200ah and then the whole storage compartment issue is moot since they have to be connected? I want to future-proof this as much as possible. I'm not getting solar panels yet, but will at some point. It also mentions this on the Group 24 product page:
【Something You Should Know Before Purchasing】This 12V 100Ah Group24 battery is suitable for energy storage rather than start-up and supports a max. discharge current of 1C. *RECOMMENDATION FOR TROLLING MOTOR: LiTime’s new 12V 100Ah TM battery, is designed for use with all trolling motors.
