The choice of lithium batteries for marine use?
Electric boat lithium batteries may use different batteries depending on the type of electric boat, so the selection of electric boat lithium batteries requires a distinction between electric boat applications
There are many types of electric boats, such as electric fishing boats, electric sightseeing boats, electric kayaks, etc. However, generally speaking, they are mainly divided into two categories: unmanned model electric boats and manned practical electric boats.
1. Unmanned model electric boat
There are also many types of model electric boats, generally divided into high-speed model electric boats and constant speed stable electric boats, which use different types of lithium batteries.
Lithium batteries used in high-speed model electric boats belong to high magnification batteries that support high current discharge. This type of lithium battery can provide strong explosive power for electric boats. It is widely used in entertainment, racing, and sports fields. It has high performance requirements for lithium batteries in electric boats, and is sensitive to battery weight. Therefore, the commonly used batteries are high-performance flexible polymer lithium batteries.
The constant speed stable electric boat does not require very high battery discharge requirements, as long as it can meet the application requirements under certain work or entertainment conditions. Of course, it is also more important to pay attention to the weight of the battery, so it is possible to use ordinary soft pack lithium batteries.
To summarize the above, the only lithium batteries used in unmanned model electric boats are those of the soft package type. As for lithium batteries such as steel shell 18650 lithium batteries or square aluminum shell lithium batteries, due to their heavy weight, they are not suitable for use.
2. Manned Utility Electric Boat
The batteries used in manned practical electric boats are dynamic, and the lithium batteries used in electric boats are also lithium batteries composed of relatively large individual batteries, which require high battery life and safety. Therefore, only lithium iron phosphate batteries can be selected because lithium iron phosphate batteries are more cost-effective in terms of price and service life, and lithium iron phosphate batteries are the highest in terms of safety.
The LILEAD dual purpose marine lithium iron phosphate battery can be compatible with both, without distinction. It has both high rate discharge characteristics and a lifetime that exceeds the cycle times of other lithium batteries.
