I was talking to the guy at Backwater Sports, they are the Minn Kota Service center in North Orem. I was thinking of replacing my 36Volt system with Lithium batteries when the current Wet cells die. He did not recommend using Lithium because the tend to burn your motor out. He said if you do go to Lithium, do not run the motor over 80% . Now I did not ask if he was talking older motors with brushes or both with or w/o brushes, but thought that was an interesting piece of information that no one talks about !! I still have 2-3 years left on my current batteries, so I am not gong to worry about it. But do some more research on it before you invest, might save you not only the price of Lithium batteries, but also a new motor !!!
