I aint been able to fish/run mine yet. All i can say is both my lithiums together weigh less than 1 27 series lead acid. I did read the instructions and did what it said. Charge each full. Link parallel for 12-24 hours. Ready to hit water fishing. Took the century out out and ran around the icw and out to bird island. She did ok. That aint nothing like running tenn river or smith lake!
