Are the lithium batteries used as marine starter batteries of the same construction as the ones being used in golf cart applications? When I was shopping lithium batteries I seem to recall that entry level lithium’s had maximum continuous discharge rates of 1C and the more premium had up to 3C (e.g. for a 100 amp hr battery, 100 amps and 300 amps respectively). Some batteries were even “claiming” higher rates.

What make and model of lithium’s are you considering? As you know, they are a big expense and it might be worth triple checking that these are the best for your dual purpose application.
