Fifth Battery in Lynx

[jclacy]

Has anyone installed a lithium battery dedicated to electronics in a Lynx?  2018 model with a 2 stroke Mercury so I understand lithium cranking battery is not an option.  Boat has 2 single group 31 trays and a dual group 31 tray.  Seems either go to 36 volt single or parallel lithium to free up space or put fifth battery in a storage compartment.  Wondering what others have done.

I bridged across the bilge foe my 100ah lithium to run my electronics.   I used two of the tie down bolts on the existing battery trays to secure it.  I have a video on John Maddox Outdoors that’s show what I did.

The key is to remember that unlike most batteries, Lithium batteries are not required to be in a specific location (standing up, etc.) I turned one of my lithium batteries on its side and mounted the second one on it’s side on top of the first. Securely strapped the two of them together and no issues at all. Allowed my to get 2 batteries in the same overall footprint for one. The terminals being literally a couple of inches away was an added benefit in setup. Hope this helps

On my 2018 Lynx I ran 3 Lithium 50AH Ionics on the passenger side, this frees up space for another group 31 on the drivers side. I had no issues running an Ultrex or Ghost all day in big water with the 50AH Ionics.

Thanks for the suggestions. I knew I could count on you guys. Mike, I had thought of the three fifty amps but wasn’t sure if they would be enough. Sounds like they should.
