ABYSS NMEA 2000 Lithium Batteries

Select ABYSS NMEA 2000 lithium marine batteries can integrate battery information into a compatible boat network. Depending on the system, battery information such as state of charge, voltage, current, temperature, and alerts can be made available to compatible multifunction displays, providing another way to monitor onboard power from the helm.

Why Choose an ABYSS Lithium Marine Battery?

LiFePO4 Marine Battery Technology

ABYSS marine batteries use lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery technology. LiFePO4 batteries can provide significant weight savings, high usable capacity, stable voltage, and long cycle life compared with traditional lead-acid battery technology when properly selected, installed, and charged.

Reduce Battery Weight

Battery banks can add substantial weight to a boat, particularly trolling motor systems that traditionally require multiple large lead-acid batteries. Switching to compatible ABYSS lithium batteries can reduce battery-bank weight while maintaining the capacity required for marine electrical systems.

More Usable Battery Capacity

Lithium batteries can provide greater usable capacity than comparable traditional lead-acid batteries because they can typically operate across a greater percentage of their rated capacity. This can be particularly valuable for trolling motors, fishing electronics, house loads, and other equipment used for extended periods.

Built for Marine Environments

ABYSS designs its marine batteries for demanding boating environments, with select models featuring IP67-rated construction and internal systems designed to withstand moisture, vibration, and challenging conditions encountered aboard fishing and recreational boats.

ABYSS Marine Battery Chargers

Proper charging is essential to lithium battery performance and service life. ABYSS marine lithium battery chargers are designed to provide compatible charging profiles for ABYSS batteries. Available charging solutions can support trolling motor and onboard battery systems while providing protection designed for marine environments.

Choosing a Lithium Battery Charger

Always use a charger compatible with the voltage, chemistry, and capacity of your battery. When replacing lead-acid batteries with lithium, verify that your existing onboard charger, alternator charging system, and other charging equipment are appropriate for LiFePO4 batteries before installation.

ABYSS Lithium vs. AGM Marine Batteries

Both lithium and AGM batteries can be used for marine applications, but they have different characteristics. LiFePO4 marine batteries generally offer lower weight, greater usable capacity, faster charging capability, and longer potential cycle life, while AGM batteries may offer a lower initial purchase price and compatibility with many existing charging systems.

Weight & Space

Lithium batteries can provide substantial capacity in a smaller and lighter package. This can be especially beneficial on fishing boats carrying multiple trolling motor batteries or vessels where battery-bank space and overall weight are important considerations.

Battery Life & Cycle Life

Properly maintained LiFePO4 batteries can provide thousands of charge and discharge cycles depending on the battery, depth of discharge, charging practices, temperature, and operating conditions. Consider expected service life along with initial cost when comparing lithium and traditional marine batteries.

How to Choose an ABYSS Battery for Your Boat

Choose the Correct Battery Voltage

Start by determining the voltage required by your equipment. Common marine systems use 12V, 24V, or 36V batteries. Starting and house systems are frequently 12V, while higher-voltage batteries are commonly used with trolling motors and other specialized equipment.

Determine How Many Amp Hours You Need

Amp hours (Ah) represent battery capacity. Higher-capacity batteries can generally power compatible equipment for longer periods before requiring recharging. Consider the total electrical load, expected runtime, charging opportunities, and available installation space when determining the capacity your boat needs.

Starting vs. Deep-Cycle vs. Dual-Purpose

Choose a battery designed for its intended application. Starting batteries must provide sufficient cranking current for the engine, deep-cycle batteries provide sustained energy for electrical loads, and dual-purpose marine batteries are designed to perform both functions in compatible installations.

Check Outboard & Trolling Motor Compatibility

Before installing a lithium battery, confirm compatibility with your outboard, trolling motor, charger, alternator, and other connected equipment. Review both the battery and equipment manufacturer's specifications, including required voltage, capacity, cranking current, and charging requirements.
