Title: Lithium Sonar Batteries. Opinions?
Post by: BassWhacker on Dec 26, 2022, 05:36 PM: Just purchased my first lithium battery for my flx-28, An Amped Outdoors battery. I was really impressed with the Ice Hole Power review on YouTube so went to my local tackle shop to pick one up. I definitely like the difference in weight of my pro pack but I honestly thought it would be a little lighter. Might be time for a shuttle upgrade lol. Does anyone have opinions on any brand of these batteries? Good and bad experience? Tight lines!

I bought them pre pandemic sale
Far as marcum service I had an issue with the shuttle on my 7 it was corrected without a hassle

I also thought it wasn't a drastic weight difference ..until I got out on the ice and I hole hopped with my FL18 Ultra pack ..there is a difference for sure . On a side note on my DD100 it will not read correctly..the gauge will read 100% for quite a looong time ...then 90% for a while and then 80% ..then the unit may shut off ..not certain ig the FLX28 would react the same .

All lithiums read the same.
