As long as you have a Auto Sensing charging system you should be fine (provide it detects Li batteries).
2 Big things with them - good charger, and don’t charge them when they are frozen or they “plate” and stop working.
Battle born batteries have a circuit in them that won’t let them charge below 32 degrees, and BUY HEATED battery’s …
They have an extra terminal on them that you run a small wire from the positive to the heating element …. It only runs when they are cold, and you can disconnect it or run it to a switch on your console so you can just flip it…. They discharge fine when it’s cold- they just don’t charge if they are under 32 degrees because the eltrolights in them get funky.

From what I am seeing these are going steam and a very fast rate
The one thing Mercury is not recommending them for starting battery’s it seems that it’s not compatible at this time with the electronics on the engine (I am told)
That being said for the electric trolling motors they are gaining ground quicker than I expected

Hardway - did you have to send it to them to adjust it or can you tweak the settings ?
I bought a new Dual Pro that auto detects and charges (Dual Pro Auto)…
but to change my old Dual Pro 3 bank I have to mail it in to them, and then they will adjust what ever banks I want for $15… not bad but you have to be without it for a bit.
Program yourself....(push a few buttons).

When I change, I'm pretty sure I'm going with the Ionic brand. They come with a Bluetooth app that not only acts as a "fuel gauge" but give you all kinds of other info like battery temp and more. I run a Mercury motor and with their Vessel View Mobile app plus the Ionic, I'll know everything about what's going on in the boat.
