Battery recommendations
Need recommendations for a quality battery. System is a kenwood HU, BT4180, BT 6x9 times two, BT 7.1 pros, and BT 6.5s. Im not running any other items that draw power.

Looking hard at the Shoria Lithium battery. Pretty bad **** technology, but still weighing the cost benefit. Light as hell, cranking amps are insane, and for u snow birds the thing can sit for months on end and never need to be charged.
Thoughts?

Lithium awesome if you got the coin for it and the charger for lithium. The genius seems to be the best for that. Lithium full charge is like 13.2volts iirc. The big crank is ok for a budget but I like and have the Yuasa due to the 500cca/32 ahr capacity vs big crank 400cca/26ahr. I also got Revzilla to price match the Amazon price.

T as I mentioned earlier the Lithium has a higher voltage than a standard lead acid or agm battery. A normal maintainer or automatic charger will not fully charge one. You need a charger that will recognize the lithium to charge it to the 13.2 volts it requires. It may be even 13.4volts. I don't remember. The noco Genius Charger is the most affordable one that will.

Good idea, but would the stock stator be able to maintain two battery's?
