ePropulsion E163 LiFePO4 Battery 8.3 kWh 48V

The E163 8345 Wh LiFePO4 battery , part of the E-series, is designed for boating. This battery guarantees optimal efficiency, performance, and safety, allowing you to sail effortlessly for hours.

• Unique! With real-time battery monitoring: the HD screen provides information on the remaining battery percentage (SOC), voltage, amperage, and alarm notifications.
• Are you going sailing with a battery without CE, UKCA, FCC, and
  UN38.3 certifications? Or will you choose this safe battery?
• Competitive Pricing: affordability without compromising on quality.
• Lightweight Advantage: 30% lighter than comparable batteries, making it easy to handle. Only 33 kilograms.
• Compact Design: 50% more compact with high energy density, allowing for easy storage in various spaces.
• Easy Installation: No additional tools required for hassle-free installation.
• With a substantial 8,345 Wh capacity, the E163 battery is ideal for extended travel. Its safety, durability, and user-friendliness are enhanced by the Battery Management System. Using LiFePO4 technology, it outperforms traditional lead-acid batteries by withstanding up to 3,000 cycles at 80% Depth of Discharge (DOD), while a lead-acid counterpart typically lasts only 500 cycles.
• The compactness and impressive energy density of the E163 battery make it unique compared to competitors.
• Weighing just 76 kilograms (165 lbs), it can be easily handled by two people. The simple installation process requires no additional tools. Paired with an ePropulsion motor, seamless synchronization is guaranteed, making for an effortless and efficient boating experience.
• Flexible installation: The height of the E60 battery is only 495 mm.

• High Reliability: The full metal housing is more reliable, weatherproof, impact-resistant and drop-resistant.

• This even allows you to cruise for over eight hours at cruising speed with a boat weighing up to one ton, with an estimated range of at least 66 kilometers.
• Compatible with Spirit and Navy series electric outboard motors and pod drives. You can also connect other motors.
• Complete protection thanks to the robust construction and reliable battery management system.
• IP 67 Waterproof: Immersion-proof (no water ingress when submerged (30 minutes at 1 meter)).
• 50% cheaper than competitors: Affordability was the starting point for these E-series batteries. By optimizing the production process, these batteries can be marketed at a very competitive price.
• Subsidy : Electric boat motors and lithium batteries are eligible for the Environmental Investment Deduction and the Arbitrary Depreciation of Environmental Investments for commercially used vessels. With the MIA/Vamil, the tax benefit can amount to over 14% of the investment amount.
• LiFePO4 is the best battery (and therefore better than Lithium-ion):
  • Safe: LiFePO4 is chemically stable and non-flammable. It can also withstand high temperatures without decomposing. Ultimately, you don't have to worry about it exploding or catching fire during use.
  • Durable: Use this battery daily, and you can even use it for 8 years. LiFePO4 batteries have a long lifespan, and the fact that they are rechargeable makes them durable. Essentially, you can use a LiFePO4 battery over and over again. LiFePO4 is a non-toxic material and doesn't emit hazardous or dangerous fumes, making it safe for you and the environment.
  • Long-lasting: A lithium LiFePO4 battery doesn't need to be fully charged to be used. This means you can connect multiple batteries in parallel without damaging the less charged batteries. The battery can also be quickly discharged without damaging the cells.
  • LiFePO4 batteries have a low discharge rate, meaning they can be left in place for months without running out of power or causing permanent damage. They also have a longer and better life cycle.
  • Efficient: Charging a lithium LiFePO4 battery is easy. It also charges faster than other batteries. It also requires no maintenance, meaning you experience minimal downtime and maximum productivity when using lithium LiFePO4 batteries. Lithium LiFePO4 batteries are also lighter.
  • Performance: Lithium LiFePO4 batteries have an optimal energy density in both volume and weight and have a good specific energy amount, which means the battery can deliver the necessary power when needed.
