Besides a weight reduction of up to 70%, you'll immediately notice the results of our innovation the moment you hit the water.
The Powerlit LiFePO4 batteries are designed for long-term and reliable use. That's why we offer a comprehensive three-year warranty, which can be extended by two years.

Even on hot summer days, the temperature remains under control, so you can continue enjoying your ride worry-free.
The Powerlit app gives you constant insight into your battery's performance. You'll see in real time how much power you have left and how long you can keep sailing. The battery also retains its power until the very last drop, and thanks to fast charging times, you'll be ready for new adventures in no time.
Charging Powerlit batteries
How do I connect my powerlit battery?
Via the Powerlit app! With our Bluetooth function, you can connect your battery in no time.
When you open the Powerlit app, the name of your battery will be highlighted under the "Device List" heading. Clicking on it will take you to the battery system. There you'll find all the information about the battery, from the battery percentage and amperage to the remaining cruising or charging time.
How long does it take to charge a battery?
The charging time of a battery is determined by the capacity of the battery and the charger.
Example:
You have a 24V 100Ah battery that is completely discharged to 0%. You'll charge it with a 10A 24V charger, which provides a maximum output of 10A per hour. To calculate how long you need to charge, take the battery's total Ah and divide it by the charger's maximum output.
100Ah / 10A = 10 hours
If you use a more powerful charger with a higher power of 40A, the total charging time is:
100Ah / 40A = 2.5 hours
I don't live near the water, can I charge my battery at home?
Powerlit offers a complete solution. That's why all batteries are equipped with a charger suitable for charging at home. Simply disconnect the battery cables and remove the battery from the boat. Because our batteries are equipped with the latest LiFePO4 technology, they are half as small and up to 70% lighter than regular gel batteries.
Can I charge my battery with shore power?
Do you have your boat moored at your own dock or a mooring with shore power? Then you can leave the battery in the boat. We offer an IP68 40A fast charger for this purpose. It's resistant to moisture and rain and charges your battery up to four times faster than a regular charger.
