36V Lithium Battery anyone running one?

Need a battery to power up my Rhodan.  Anyone using a 36V Lithium?
Looking at the 36V Lithium Pros and DC charger to charge on the go.

Several of my friends that fish redfish tournaments with me running them with the powerpole charge system.  I am getting ready to switch to them shortly as well.

I'll have to look at the Power Pole charge system also.  Looking to also add a solar panel to the hard top to keep everything topped off.

Just got a new TIG to fab up the mounts and do some other mods. Project 243 slowly moving along.

X2 on solar charger. Great backup to keep batteries topped off

I recently installed a 36V rhodan, 3 12V batteries though.  I chose the trollbridge charging system.  Way cheaper than other ones with a lifetime warranty.  Allows me to charge up the trolling batteries while underway.  Only have it a few weeks, so far no complaints.

I have the 24v and I am extremely happy with it. It is interesting that you do not have a loss of power and then it just shuts down. Much like how you mobile phone works. The charge seems to really last a long time.

The power curve is also greater with lithium than with lead-acid. By the time the lithium shuts off, your LA battery would've long lost enough voltage to make it nearly unusable.
