A small 12V lithium battery runs a fish finder, a kayak or small trolling motor, a CPAP for a night or two, or lights and a fan in a tent. Small batteries always cost more per watt-hour than big ones, because the case, BMS and terminals cost about the same at any size, so they’re scored on their own price scale.
