Introducing the PowerTex 12V LiFePO4 Marine Cranking Battery - Unleash the Power of Innovation on the Open Water!
More Power Where it Matters Experience the thrill of more power with our PowerTex LiFePO4 marine cranking battery. Unlike traditional lead-acid batteries, our LiFePO4 battery boasts a rated voltage that's 0.8V higher, supercharging your boat's performance. Feel the difference as your engine roars to life faster, your fuel consumption drops, your throttle becomes lighter, and your engine responds with newfound vigor. This means more fun on the water, more efficient voyages, and more power at your fingertips!
Lightweight Champion Don't let heavy batteries weigh down your marine adventures. The PowerTex marine cranking battery is a featherweight at just 21.2 lbs, while its lead-acid counterpart tips the scales at a hefty 58.6 lbs. Embrace the freedom of lightweight design and enjoy nimble handling, increased speed, and more space for your boating essentials.
Smart Battery Management Safety and reliability are paramount at PowerTex. That's why our LiFePO4 marine battery comes standard with a cutting-edge built-in Battery Management System (BMS). This system shields your battery from common causes of failure, ensuring your boat's power source remains strong and dependable.
Grade A Cells for Premium Performance We take quality seriously. PowerTex LiFePO4 batteries are equipped with Grade A cells that are UL certified, and our batteries hold certifications for UN38.3 and RoHs compliance. When it comes to performance, we stand at the pinnacle of excellence.
Exceptional Longevity Bid farewell to frequent battery replacements. PowerTex LiFePO4 marine batteries offer an impressive lifespan, enduring over 2,000 cycles at 80% depth of discharge (DOD). Compare that to a typical lead-acid battery's paltry 200-500 cycles. With us, you're investing in a power source that's built to last, spanning a remarkable 5 to 10 years.
Peace of Mind Warranty We're so confident in the reliability of our products that we rigorously test every battery before it ships and back it up with a generous 2-year warranty. Sail with confidence, knowing you have the PowerTex advantage on your side.
Optimal Charging for Peak Performance To unlock the full potential of your LiFePO4 battery, we recommend using a dedicated LiFePO4 charger. Conventional SLA chargers may fall short of the optimal 14.4V-15V LiFePO4 charging voltage, potentially compromising performance. With the right charger, you'll harness the full power of your battery for every aquatic adventure.
