Nitro batteries

I have a 2024 Nitro Z18. I want to replace the Interstate trolling motor batteries (group 31)with Tracker Lithium batteries (group 24). Will I need new battery trays?
Thanks

Amazon and Ebay have a lot of lithium batteries with super prices. Check out the reviews on You Tube. Some of the Chinese brands are proving to be really good quality. Li-time and Weize, just name two quality brands. I bought 2 of the 12v 100ah Weize batteries off E-bay for $260 including tax with free shipping. They are fantastic. running my 24v Ultrex more than 3 days and using less than 40% of their capacity. To be clear I bought two (2) for a total cost of $260! They weigh in at 22 pounds each. The weight difference from Lead/acid batteries was very noticeable on the Z18.

Thanks for the info.

I did a good bit of research before I made this swap. You will need a new charger dedicated to the LIFEP04 tech.
Do not charge these to 100% every time you come home. This damages the battery's long term. should manage between a 80%-20% capacity in use most of the time. See this video- very good information.

Great video. Now I’m going to have to research this and see if it applies to smaller lithium batteries, leaf blowers, weed eaters, and such. Thanks

It does apply to all lithium batteries. Phones included.
