Fishing Gear: X2Power Lithium 12V 50Ah (LiFePO4)

X2Power Lithium 12V 50Ah (LiFePO4)

Description and Application: X2Power’s 12V 50Ah 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:Have you rigged your kayak to near unreasonable levels? Two graphs, forward-facing sonar? Cabin lights and multiple GoPros? You need a bigger battery with a smaller footprint—or two. The point it, kayak fishing was developed o be a simple approach to fishing on tough-to-access waters, or more popular fisheries that might demand intense scouting to find the fish. A 50Ah battery will power most of your decked-out boat for a full day and then some. I like having enough power in one battery with a footprint that is absolutely manageable above or below deck. This battery weighs 14.2 pounds and measures 7.8x6.5x6.7 inches. They are not a cheap up-front investment, but with an impressive 10-year warranty, you’ll certainly save money in the long run.
