How much juice needed to power 200xs / Lithium Battery question.
Looking to shave weight and this seems to be the best price vs. weight vs. CCA lithium battery option on the market.
Boat will only be powering a

I run Odyssey PC 680 with my twin 200XS engines with no problems. Since its twin engine I always figured I could use both batteries to start one engine if needed. Never needed to do that yet.
Not trying to defy what others are saying. Just saying what I'm using and is working.

Battery cable size plays a big role as well.... I never go smaller than 2 ga in any rig...... 4 ga will work, but eventually corrosion will make it's way in so having the extra cable size helps.............
