Please help with Lithium set up

[Gbrewer5309]

Looking to switch to lithium and have no idea where to start, would love some recommendations from someone who has similar setup and use time on the water as me. 

 

I am a weekend angler and usually have my boat out for 4-5 hours at a time with the occasional weekend trip where i stay on the water for 8-12 hours. I always have a place to charge at my lake, so running without a charge for days at a time is not necessary for me. The only reason I am switching to lithium is to better the clarity of my graphs. I could care less about less charge times and weight/speed. Can someone recommend a set up that is not overkill for me, keeping the above variables in mind? Below is a list of what I am running on my boat. 

 

Electronics

Bow - Ghost trolling motor, HDS PRO 12, HDS LIVE 9, Active Target

Console - HDS PRO 12, HD 3in1

 

Thanks in advanced!!

I switched my electronics to lithium a couple of years ago and I did not see any difference in my electronics.  I run Hummingbirds.  I know some people are saying that going to 16 volts improves clarity on electronics.  I would love to hear from someone who has made the switch to 16 volts who is not being paid to talk about it.

The sales rep at a Dakota Lithium booth told me it was BS, and a marketing ploy when I asked him about it.   

 

I brought up how Ben Milliken is always pimping a 16v dedicated battery for electronics.

I think the ghost is 36v?  If so, I’d go with a set of 3 50-60 ah lithiums for the trolling motor. That’s plenty for what you need but about as small as a lithium that’s sold. 
 

Three mid sized screens plus live target will draw about 8-10 amps combined. For a 10- hour day you’ll need a 100 ah battery. That’s a common size. Check the specs on the screens but I think they are all 2-2.5amp max draw. you could consider a 125 or 150 but they are proportionally more expensive since 100 is the common size. 
 

stick with a sla cranking and house battery. 
 

you won’t get added clarity unless you have a deficiency in your system. Lead batteries operative at lower voltage?  Then lithium will help with the back half of the day. Otherwise, a dedicated battery for electronics and heavier wiring will be more benefit.
