I put this on the forum's Boat Maintenance section but suspect I might get better results here....

I recently became the owner of a fishing kayak with a 55 lb thrust trolling motor. Battery that came with it is a Walmart product that is not up to the task. Have done a lot of on line searching and, like everything else, there are myriad choices, some involving a double fistful of shekels.  

Any "been there, done that" recommendations? Seems LiFePO4 batteries are the best, but quite a bit more than similar capacity lead acid AGM varieties.  Plus, to be charged properly, they need a charger specifically oriented to the litium battery charging protocol.

I wont be needing the battery to last all day, as I am a "casual" fisherman, but also dont want a battery that will leave me stranded and having to paddle home, lol.
