X2Power Lithium 12V 20Ah (LiFePO4)
Description and Application: X2Power’s 12V 20Ah Marine Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) deep cycle battery comes standard with Bluetooth technology for monitoring performance through the X2Power App available in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. These batteries are not for use as a cranking/starting battery—only to be used for deep cycle applications. X2Power lithiums are 50% lighter than AGM batteries and can charge 4 times faster! Reduce weight, improve run time, and shorten recharge time with X2Power. An advanced Battery Management System (BMS) controls the parameters of the battery for optimum performance and safety, protecting against over-charging and over-discharging. These batteries are backed by a 10-Year, 2000 cycle limited warranty.
Staff Perspective: The 20Ah X2Power lithium battery is perfect for a number of kayak applications such as powering a single 7- to 9-inch graph, navigation and accessory lights, cameras or whatever else needs power. To extend that power, you can wire two 20Ah batteries to a parallel rigging to double power output—or upgrade to the next size up in the X2Power lithium lineup. I know lithiums are expensive, but when you consider the 10-year warranty, you actually save money in the long run—and weight—and that’s a justifiable expense in my mind. This battery weighs 5.9 pounds and measures 7.12x6.5x3 inches.
Cost: $249.99
