EcoPowerMax 48V32Ah High Output LiFePo4 Battery
EcoPowerMax 48 Volt 32 Amp hour portable battery suitable for the marine environment.
Excludes charger.
The perfect small, light high output battery for your 48v electric outboard!
With 32Ah (or 1.6kwh of capacity) this battery defies expectations as it can output 5kw (or approximately 6.5hp) of power continuously enabling it to power high power motors by itself.
A single battery can run the 6hp (4.3kW) Mitek electric outboard with no problem while two linked in parallel can easily power the Mitek 9.9hp (7.2kW) outboard at full power very easily.
It is made of sturdy impact-resistant plastic for easy use and assured durability for your boating adventures.
You can now use a high power outboard on your trailer sailer or rib and easily take the batteries on and off for charging at home.
Ease of Use
Weighing only 17.1kg makes it very easy to take anywhere – but most importantly get on and off your boat.
The power density and deep discharge capability of the battery makes it comparable to FOUR 60 Amp hour normal lead acid batteries that will likely weigh around 60-65kg! The lead acid batteries will be also be far larger making the EcoPowerMax a much lighter, more powerful and more compact option.
Power Monitoring
Each battery individually has its own embedded LED power meter so you can see that state of charge very easily in any light conditions.
If you would like, we can also provide a remote screen monitor which can placed conveniently on your boat and this can if you like be Bluetooth enabled to view on your phone using our app either instead of the screen or in addition to.
Charging
With a 20 amp charger it takes around one and a half to two hours to charge from flat
LiFePo4 Advantages
The Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePo4) battery chemistry is far safer than the more usual Lithium Ion batteries as they do not suffer from “thermal runaway”. It means that the EcoPowerMax 48V32 cannot catch fire even when under severe duress, overheating, shorting out or being punctured. Plus there is no acid to spill or fumes to breath – a safe sealed system ideal for demanding environments.
LiFePo4 also has far more longevity than Lithium Ion, with the LiFePo4 batteries having a 6,000 cycle life (to 80% depth of discharge) compared to the more usual 600-800 for Lithium Ion and only a few dozen for a lead acid battery if you regularly discharge it beyond 50%!

Performance
The performance of the LiFePo4 battery completely overshadows lead acid with a much flatter voltage discharge. This means that the EcoPowerMax will continue putting out full voltage until it is completely discharged, giving you more power for longer, taking you further and faster.
The higher price of a LiFePo4 battery is more than offset by its very long life, deeper discharge cycle, smaller size, safe chemistry and easy connectivity abilities.
Assuming you fully cycle it fully 30 times a year this could be the last battery you ever need to buy.
Even a club runnig through a couple of hundred cycles will expect this battery to last an extra ordinarily long time.
