Lithium batteries and power systems

Lithium gives you more usable power at a fraction of the weight of lead batteries. The battery is the easy part. Charging it properly from every source on the boat is the real job.

What the job covers

  • Sizing the bank to how you use the boat and for how long
  • Lithium house batteries and trolling motor batteries at 12, 24 or 36 volts
  • DC to DC charging from the outboard, so the battery charges safely while you run
  • Shore power chargers and solar, with monitoring you can read on your phone and sounder
  • Isolation and fusing done to suit lithium

What changes the price

  • The capacity you need
  • The voltage your trolling motor runs on
  • How many charging sources the system takes
  • Whether the existing cabling is heavy enough to keep

What to bring

  • What you run, and for how long on a typical day
  • Your current batteries and charger
  • Your trolling motor model and voltage

Questions people ask

Can I drop a lithium battery into my old setup?

Yes, but there are changes that need to happen to ensure the boat complies with the current standard.

Which brand do you fit?

We're an authorised dealer for Victron Energy and Amptron. We also fit BLA Performance Series, and Mastervolt through the Navico group. We'll recommend the one that suits the boat and is compliant.

Who do I call if something goes wrong?

If we've done the install, call us first.

Can I provide my own lithium battery to be installed?

Only if the battery meets lithium installation requirements. If you're unsure, give us a call and we can provide you with the information you need.
