Is anyone using 12 volt lithium batteries to run electronics? Looking for recommendations on what brands work well...

I use them in my cell cams and amazed how many months and pics they are good for.

I’ll have to go take a look at mine for the brand. But it’s awesome. So much lighter and better battery life. Might be a Dakota.

Just make sure you get the proper charger.

I have a battleborn at my cabin, but that may be a bit much for ice fishing. I needed a battery that the BMS had a low-temp cutoff for charging since my cabin is unheated when I am not there.

I have heard good things about the Dakota, but there are a bunch of lithium batteries coming on the market now. Hopefully the prices start decreasing pretty good on them.

I have 2 norsk 7.2 ah batteries. Crazy light I like them so far. Kinda an impulse buy for me haha. If I would have looked more I think I would checked out dakota lithium. I think they have something like a 10year warranty.

We use a bunch of them at work, Dakota lithium are about the best and they have a 11 year warranty on them. We tried the cheap ones and they would only last a couple months before they failed.
