Lithium batteries have considerable advantages over conventional wet lead-acid, absorbed glass mat (AGM), and sealed Gel marine deep cycle batteries. The most significant of these benefits is longer-lasting power. Conventional marine batteries lose voltage as they are drained, which causes a trolling motor to gradually lose thrust. Once the batteries are drawn down to 50 % they can no longer produce the voltage needed to power the motor. They still have 50 percent of their capacity, but as far as your trolling motor is concerned, they’re dead. And, when a conventional marine battery is drained to 50 % or below, it will never return to its full capacity, no matter how long it is charged.
Lithium batteries, on the other hand, do not lose voltage as they are drawn down. And, they may be drained to nearly 100 percent before the voltage drops. Therefore, they can provide power twice as long and keep your trolling motor running at full strength throughout that time.
Also, a discharged lithium battery suffers no harm and can be recharged to its full strength. And, a lithium battery may be discharged and charged five or more times than conventional marine deep cycle batteries. Add to this that lithium batteries weigh about half to a third that of conventional deep cycle marine batteries and that they charge in a fraction of the time.
MPS Smart lithium batteries are designed to perform in harsh condition. Our batteries provide over 5x the cycle life at 80% DOD (depth of discharge) compared to standard lead-acid batteries, and easily handles 2,000 cycles. MPS lithium-iron batteries do not contain toxic materials or emit harmful gases. Our batteries use lithium iron phosphate which is the fastest form of lithium chemestry. MPS lithium batteries are the ultimate clean energy.
