I do appreciate the comparison with FLA batteries shown in the web site:

Li batteries can be discharged to zero whereas FLA batteries should not be discharged beyond 50%. Also Li batteries will last for more charge/discharge cycles than FLAs.

But FLA batteries don't catch on fire. Will these? LiFePO4 batteries are thought to be inherently safe, but....

I would only use something like this when weight and size were critical. OK for an electric car, but I don't see that being the case for a boat.
