I've been thinking about installing a pair of Torqeedo Cruise 6.0R outboards on my boat.
Their motors are better suited to pushing displacement boats at low speed than their competitors.
But their batteries seem absurdly overpriced. And they're li-ion, not lipo.
Torqeedo does, though, provide wiring kits to work with 3d party batteries.
Which means I'm looking for alternative batteries I could use.
What I'm looking for:
SOK makes marine-cased 12V batteries in both 100Ah and 206Ah, which would work fine, except they don't have CanBUS.
Choices?

What I'm looking for:
- LiFePO4
- 100+ Ah
- 12V or 24V batteries I can connect in series, rather than single batteries, to make it easier to get them in an out of the boat (100Ah at 48V is going to weigh 100 pounds)
- Can provide 100A continuous
- Marine packaging - plastic case, etc.
- CanBUS communication with the charger
