So you're charging a LiFe battery that is dead at 13.2vdc with a 12vdc AGM marine deep cycle battery?

How many amps are you charging at?! 5 is max recommended and an hour might be the longest I ever charge at that after a lot of riding.
I bring an AGM battery like the 625 to power my icharger for the AG battery. That'll recharge me for a three day weekend of riding, then put the 625 back on the battery tender at home.

5 amps and the charger slowly brings it down as it get closet to fully charged
I've used an icharger 308 for years in rc and yeah, they are awesome chargers. They have a boost circuit in them and can use input voltages from 10 to 26 I believe. And charge well above the input voltage

So your battery is dead after only putting out 1.5 amp hours...?

Not dead but antigravity doesn't like their batteries under 12.5v and say it gets permanent damage at 11v so since I'm flat water if I ride and I get tired I'll come in and connect my battery to charge and make sure they donsnt get low I've had this current battery for a year and a half and its still fine

Some people seem to think ride until your ski doesn't start by that time you have done the damage
I have people come into my work with a car battery at 3 volts and say I need this to be charged 9 times out of ten they waste time charging it and buy a new one

what does it weigh? an AGM battery for a superjet is ridiculous heavy. 16lbs

Who cares, if you think 10-12lbs is going to make or break how you ride and charging your battery every tank or two is an actual alternative you would consider, you need to rethink your priorities.

Just asking. Jeez! My priorities are straight. Carry on.
Sorry, didn't mean to come off as offensive, your comment about them being ridiculously heavy hinted at the fact that you would rather charge a battery than ride a marginally heavier ski.

I think the lithium concept is a good idea, but the effort it takes to maintain one is silly. Especially for marine applications. I'm all about light weight. My o'reillys agm is 16lbs. Makes my sj list to the right in the water. I'm gonna try the ext9 this year. Tl with a ton of timing, though. I hope it lives up to its hype!

I am moving from an Etx9 to an etx12. Doesn't weigh much more and you get a couple extra amp hours out of it.

I have an etx12. I think its 9 lbs. good battery. im just wondering if I can go down to a etx9.
The Odyssey 625 is 17AH, it looks like you have to go up to an ETX18 to get the same.
