Lithium
Charge Faster, Last Longer, Weigh Less
Lithium batteries represent the next generation of battery power. Their higher energy density allows them to store more energy per unit of weight than other types of batteries. Lithium batteries are also lighter and have a lower self-discharge rate making them ideal for golf carts, powersport equipment, marine and RV, solar energy systems and more.
Winterizing Your Boat: Battery Care and Storage Tips
You’ve had a full and fun season out on the water, but now it’s time to pack up your boat for the colder weather ahead. Taking steps to prepare your boat battery for the off-season ensures you’ll be powered up and ready to hit the waves running when spring rolls around again.
Why Do Lead-Acid Batteries Fail? 5 Common Causes of Premature Battery Failure
Factory defects are responsible for less than 7% of battery failures. So why do batteries fail? In most cases, it comes down to driving habits, environmental conditions and natural wear and tear. In this blog post, we will look at what causes battery failure and how to get the most life out of your battery.
Your Ultimate Guide to Marine Batteries
Welcome to your ultimate guide to marine batteries. When it’s time to get out on the water, you want to know you have the power to ride the waves all day. In this battery guide, we will explore the heart of your boat — the battery — and highlight everything you need to know for a safe and enjoyable ride.
What Are Lithium Batteries?
Lithium batteries have been around for more than 60 years, but as technology has advanced, they’ve become increasingly powerful and popular for consumer electronics and vehicles. Lithium batteries work by moving positively charged lithium ions through an electrolyte from the anode to the cathode and back again, creating a consistent, efficient and powerful current.
Today, lithium batteries — specifically, lithium iron phosphate batteries — have emerged as an increasingly popular power solution due to their superior longevity, efficiency and safety compared to traditional lead-acid batteries.
Benefits of Lithium Batteries
- Low maintenance. Lithium batteries do not retain a memory, nor do they require scheduled cycling to prolong life. They also have a much higher energy density than a traditional lead-acid battery.
- Efficient. Lithium-ion batteries are rated at about 95% efficiency versus 80% to 85% for a standard lead-acid battery.
- Greater capacity. Lithium batteries boast 25% to 50% more capacity than lead-acid batteries.
- Longevity. Lithium batteries have up to 10 times the cycle life of equivalent lead-acid batteries.
- Lightweight. Lithium weighs up to 60% less than lead-acid batteries, making them ideal for smaller EVs and powersport equipment.
- Cost-efficient. While lithium batteries cost more than their lead-acid counterparts, their excellent performance, reliability and long lifespan often offset the initial investment.
