For marine applications, you need a reliable and long-lasting battery that will not fail you during the most critical times. If you are not happy with your current power source, you might want to consider buying a lithium marine battery. The most powerful option is the 36V100AH lithium battery, which offers extended power with around 14 hours of use on a 36V marine trolling motor! That makes it practical for pro fishermen who spend a lot of time on the water. A single module weighs significantly less and will occupy less space than three 12v100AH lithium batteries linked in a series.
If you are looking for this type of lithium marine battery, you may be glad to know that there are retailers offering it online. Here are tips to help you with your purchase:
Consider LiFePO4
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePo4) batteries can be direct replacements for your boat’s lead-acid house batteries. They are known for their lower weight and compact size, so they should not weigh down your boat. Moreover, they offer consistent power delivery and extended runtime. A good 36V100AH lithium battery offers 6000 life cycles at 100 percent DoD, with less than three to five percent yearly discharge rate when stored.
Make sure there is a built-in BMS
A BMS stands for ‘Battery Management System’ and it is the electronic board that manages and controls the battery. It protects the battery from problems like reverse polarity, short circuit, and overcharging, and ensures that the unit is safe to charge.
Look for a built-in LED charge indicator
This feature eliminates the guesswork on how much charge is left in the 36V100AH lithium battery. Make sure it is conveniently found on top of the battery, so it is easy to read.
Get the right charger for it
A lead-acid battery charger should not be used with a lithium marine battery because it will not work properly and it will damage your new battery. So, be sure to get a lithium battery charger for the new LiFePO4 battery you will buy.
Get in touch with the retailer
Not sure if the 36V100AH lithium battery is right for you? Contact the retailer for recommendations. They could even provide a custom LiFePO4 system, in case that is what you need.
