LiTime to Debut New Electric Outboard Motor LiFePO4 Battery at ICAST, the World's Largest Sport Fishing Trade Show
02 Julio 2024 - 9:00PM
From July 16 to 19, the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando
will host the 2024 ICAST, the world's premier sport fishing
trade show. This event, often referred to as the "Super Bowl" of
the fishing industry, showcases the latest gear and accessories
from top brands. Shenzhen-based battery brand LiTime will unveil
its latest innovation: the market’s first lithium iron
phosphate (LiFePO4) battery designed specifically for
electric outboard motors. These new products aim to enhance the
fishing experience and will be available for a 15-day online
pre-sale starting June 28 on the LiTime website, offering
special pre-sale prices.
Innovation in Battery Technology: The First of Its
Kind for Electric Outboard Motors
In May 2023, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency set
stringent greenhouse gas emission standards under the Clean Air
Act, focusing on the transportation sector and existing gas turbine
standards. Electric boats are emerging as the future trend, rapidly
replacing fuel-powered vessels. In response to these regulations
and market demands, LiTime developed two electric power batteries
for boats: the 12V 100Ah OBM battery and the 36V 100Ah OBM
battery.
These new batteries are the first specifically designed for
marine electric outboard motors. They feature IP65 dust and water
resistance, upgraded low-temperature protection, and smart
capabilities with Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity via QR code scan,
allowing users to check power status easily on their smartphones.
The advanced Battery Management System (BMS) provides over 20 types
of protection, supports 500A/1S discharge, automatic recovery
within 30 seconds after overload, and enhanced resistance to
moisture and salt spray.
High Performance: Long-Lasting, Lightweight,
Maintenance-Free Batteries
The 12V 100Ah OBM (Outboard
Motor) LiFePO4 battery: This battery supports
configurations up to 5S5P for a total of 60V 500Ah, specifically
designed to meet the high-capacity needs of outboard motors,
accommodating 24V, 36V, 48V, and 60V outboard motors. With an
energy capacity of 1280Wh, it can manage surge discharge
currents up to 500A for 1 second, handling the initial high current
during motor startup. It also features a sustained discharge rate
of 1.2C for 3 minutes and can automatically recover from overload
protection within 30 seconds, eliminating concerns about battery
shutdowns.
The 36V 100Ah OBM (Outboard
Motor) LiFePO4 battery: This battery supports 4P2S
configurations, and two in series can power a 72V electric outboard
motor up to 10 horsepower. A single battery is equivalent to three
12V 100Ah lead-acid batteries in series, achieving superior
performance with no messy cables, saving space of two lead-acid
batteries, reducing weight by 65%, and doubling endurance. It also
offers over 4000 deep cycles, exceeding the lifespan of lead-acid
batteries by more than five times.
