    How about LIPO4? I got one for my trolling motor and it’s a dream, never come close to running it down on a single trip and only bother charging it every 2-3 outings, and only that often to cover my ass.

      I think LIPO4 batteries are less dense than the standard lithium ion battery.

        They are indeed larger! My 12.6V I was talking about is about double the size of a lead car battery, but much of that is also empty space. I’d trade that space for runtime any day. Apparently that doesn’t work out for small vehicles?
