A good number of the community did a group buy on this technology a couple years ago:

Actually most got the 6v model for bait tanks. Same pros and cons except probably a bit larger and not quite the fire Hazzard as far as I can see. I have the 12 v 12 amp hour model and can easily run my Elite 5 for 14 hrs on a charge. Actually I have never seen it read under 13 v under load so I am not sure how long it will go. I think I paid around $150 for it including charger. Give us an update after a couple months

I too have the biennopower 12v 12aH for my FF and like it. Definitely more life than my comparable SLA. Wouldn't mind getting the 6volt soon for bait tank.

Iv'e been using a tenergy lithium ion battery for 5 or so years now, a 14v 13000 mah. It's my original battery I bought when I had my first kayak back in 09'. Hasn't caught on fire yet, or gone bad on me.
