Do you have certified marine batteries for insurance/safety compliance?

Yes. Our marine batteries carry, CE, UL, UN38.3, MSDS certifications. Insurance requirements vary by vessel type and region. Provide your target market and vessel class to our sales team, and we will help you determine which certifications apply or can be supported.

Does cold weather affect performance?

Standard version discharges down to -20°C, but charging requires temperatures above 0°C. For cold‑climate cruising, we recommend the optional self‑heating function: when a charger is connected below 0°C, the battery warms itself to a safe charging temperature – enabling reliable charging down to -30°C.

Can I install the battery in the bilge? Where water might accumulate?

Yes. IP67 allows submersion in 1m of water for 30 minutes, so a bilge with occasional water is acceptable. However, ensure adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup, and avoid long‑term immersion of terminals. For permanent bilge installations, consider adding a drip cover.

What is the lifespan of Polinovel marine battery in saltwater environment?

4,000+ cycles at 80% depth of discharge (DoD). For a typical weekend boater (one trip per week), this translates to 20+ years. The IP67 rating provides excellent protection against salt spray and moisture, but we still recommend regular visual inspection and terminal cleaning as good practice.

Is Polinovel battery compatible with my existing onboard charger (e.g., ProMariner, NOCO, Minn Kota)?

Most modern smart chargers have a LiFePO₄ profile (termination voltage 14.2–14.6V). Check your charger’s manual for lithium compatibility before connection. If your charger is not lithium-compatible, we recommend adding a DC‑DC charger between the alternator and the battery. For AC chargers, replace or upgrade.

Can I use a single battery for both starting my engine and running my trolling motor?

Yes – our DUAL Series is designed for this application. For short trolling sessions (less than half a day) and light electronics, a single DUAL 105Ah is a good starting point. For extended trolling (half a day or more) or heavy loads, we recommend separate battery banks for starting and trolling.

I have an outboard with a pull-start backup. Do I still need a dedicated starting battery?

Yes. Electronics (fish finder, GPS, VHF, bilge pump) require a stable deep-cycle power source – a pull-start doesn’t support them. You can choose either a single dual-purpose battery (start + deep cycle) or separate starter and house banks, depending on your budget and weight constraints.

Why Boat Owners And Builders Switch From Lead‑acid To Lithium？

1. Corrosion & moisture Saltwater kills terminals and seals.

2. Weak engine starting Deep-cycle batteries can't crank engines.

3. Slow recharging 6–8 hours at dock kills work time.

4. Heavy weight Extra fuel burn & less payload.

5. Short life Replace lead-acid every 1–2 years.

6. No battery insight No warning before failure offshore.

→ IP67 waterproof & anti-corrosion housing.

→ 10C peak discharge – starting + deep cycle in one.

→ 3x faster charging, back on water in 2 hours.

→ 70% lighter, improve fuel efficiency 5–10%.

→ Upto 6,000 cycles, 10+ years TCO.

→ Bluetooth real-time monitoring on phone.

LiFePO₄ vs Lead-Acid – The Marine Comparison

Choosing the Right Marine LiFePO₄ Battery – A 3‑Step Technical Guide

Select the correct voltage, capacity, and battery type for your vessel – whether you run a single outboard, a sailing yacht, or a commercial workboat.

Step 1 – Identify Your Hull & Daily Electrical Load

Start by understanding your boat type and the key equipment you power.

This helps determine both mechanical requirements (vibration, space) and electrical demand.

Hull / Application	Typical Onboard Loads (12V reference)
Bass boat / small fishing boat	Trolling motor (30-50A), fish finder (1-2A), livewell pump (3-5A)
Sailboat (30-45 ft)	Autopilot (2-4A), navigation instruments (2A), fridge (5-7A), LED lights (2-5A)
Yacht / cabin cruiser	Multiple fridges, air conditioning (via inverter), entertainment system, bow thruster
Workboat / commercial fishing	Winches (high intermittent), radar, sonar, LED floodlights (10-20A)
Electric propulsion boat	48V or higher system - contact our engineers for a dedicated solution

Not sure about your total load? Proceed to Step 3 – we provide a simple formula and example to calculate your exact daily amp‑hour (Ah) needs.

Step 2 – Choose Battery Type: Starting, Deep Cycle, or Dual‑Purpose

Use the decision flow below to select the right battery family. Each option links to our corresponding product series.

Do you start engine frequently?
→ No, only trolling motors or electronics → Pure Deep Cycle → BL Series (high capacity, long runtime)
→ Yes, and I prefer a separate cranking battery → High‑C Starting Battery → DUAL Series (high discharge rate)

→ Yes, but I want ONE battery for both starting and house loads → Dual‑Purpose (Starting + Deep Cycle) → DUAL Series

“For most recreational boats under 40 ft, one DUAL Series battery replaces both a starting battery and a deep‑cycle house bank – saving space, weight, and cost.”

Step 3 – Calculate Your Required Capacity (Ah)

Use this formula to estimate how many amp‑hours you need per day, then add safety margin.
Daily energy consumption (Ah) = Σ (Device Current in Amps × Daily Running Hours)
Recommended battery capacity = Daily Ah × 1.2 ~ 1.5

"The multiplier keeps depth of discharge (DoD) at 80% or less, maximising LiFePO₄ cycle life (4,000‑6,000 cycles)."

Example Calculation - Bass Boat
Device	Current	Hours/day	Ah/day
Trolling motor (variable speed)	40 (average)	3	120
Fish finder / sonar	2	6	12
Livewell pump	4	5	20
LED navigation lights	2	2	4
Total	156Ah
Recommended capacity (x1.3)	202.8Ah → Choose 200Ah or 2 x 100Ah in parallel

Quick Reference for Common Setups
Daily Load (estimated	Recommended LiFePO4 Capacity
50-80Ah	100Ah
80-120Ah	150Ah
120-170Ah	200Ah
170-230Ah	300Ah
230-300Ah	400Ah (2x200Ah parallel)

Bass Boat Owner

Key Benefit: Runtime: 0.5 day → 8+ hours | Bluetooth monitoring without opening deck

“My old lead-acid battery barely lasted half a day running my trolling motor and fish finder. I switched to Polinovel‘s 105Ah LiFePO₄ – now I get 8+ hours on the water. The Bluetooth app lets me check state of charge without opening the deck hatch. Best upgrade I’ve made.”
— Mike, bass boat owner

12V 105Ah | Trolling + fish finder

Sailboat Circumnavigators

Key Benefit:

2 days autonomy (fridge + nav + lights) | IP67 bilge installation

“We live aboard our sailboat six months a year. Two Polinovel 200Ah batteries run our fridge, navigation, lights, and electronics for two full days – no solar needed. IP67 means we installed them in the bilge without a second thought.”
— Sarah & Tom, circumnavigators

24V 200Ah (2x 12V) | Cruising liveaboard

Cold Weather User – Canadian Rockies Winter Camping

Key Benefit: Charges at -30°C | Self-heating activates with charger

“Camping in the Canadian Rockies in winter, standard lithium batteries shut down below -10°C. Polinovel‘s self-heating version solved it – plug in the charger in the morning, it warms up and starts charging within half an hour. No more frozen power.”
— Dave, Canadian RV enthusiast
