Navigating the seas with the onboard systems supporting various technologies, navigational electronics, and on-board appliances necessitates a reliable power supply. This is where ROYPOW lithium batteries come into play, offering robust marine energy solutions, including the new 12 V/24 V LiFePO4 battery packs, for enthusiasts venturing into the open waters.
Lithium Batteries for Marine Energy Applications
In recent years, lithium batteries have made strong inroads into the marine power market. Compared with conventional lead-acid batteries, the lithium type is a clear winner in energy storage. It offers significant reductions in size and weight, powering your yacht’s electric motor, safety equipment, and other onboard appliances without taking up excessive space or overburdening it. Plus, lithium-ion solutions provide a stable voltage output during operation, charge at a much faster rate, offer far greater cycle life, and require minimal maintenance to sustain an extensive lifespan. On top of all these benefits, lithium options have a much greater energy storage capacity and usable power and can discharge all their stored power without ill effects, while lead-acid batteries can sustain significant damage when drained below half their storage capacity.
ROYPOW is one of the global pioneers and leaders in the transition from lead-acid to lithium batteries. The company adopts the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry in its batteries that outperforms other sub-types of lithium-ion chemistries in most aspects, providing advanced LFP battery power solutions for residential, commercial, industrial, vehicle-mounted, and marine applications around the globe.
For the marine market, the company has launched the marine energy storage system integrated with the 48 V lithium battery to offer a one-stop all-electric marine energy storage solution to conventional diesel-based power problems – costly in maintenance as well as fuel consumption, noisy, and unfriendly to environments, and help achieve the power freedom of yachting. The 48 V batteries have been found to be an important partner in yachts, such as in the Riviera M400 motor yacht 12.3 m and a Luxury Motor yacht- Ferretti 650 – 20 m. However, in the ROYPOW marine product lineup, they have recently introduced 12 V/24 V LiFePO4 battery as an alternative option. These batteries provide an innovative and efficient power solution for marine applications.
New ROYPOW 12 V/24 V LFP Battery Solutions
The new batteries are used for specific 12V/24V DC loads or compatibility concerns. For example, some vessels use hydraulic systems to fulfill functions like stabilizers and steering controls. Certain specialized equipment on boats, including anchor systems and high-power communication devices, might also necessitate a 12 V or 24 V power supply for optimal performance. The 12 V battery has a rated voltage of 12.8 V and a rated capacity of 400 Ah. It supports up to 4 battery units working in parallel. In comparison, the 24 V battery features a rated voltage of 25.6 V and a rated capacity of 200 Ah, supporting up to 8 battery units in parallel, with a total capacity reaching up to 40.9 kWh. As a result, the 12 V/24 V LFP battery can power more onboard electrical appliances for an extended duration.
To withstand challenging marine environments, ROYPOW 12 V/24 V LFP battery packs are tough and durable, meeting automotive-grade standards to resist vibration and shock. Each battery is designed to have a lifespan of up to 10 years and can endure more than 6,000 cycles, ensuring long-lasting performance. The reliability and durability are further guaranteed by the IP65-rated protection and successful completion of the salt spray test. Moreover, the 12 V/24 V LiFePO4 battery boasts the highest level of safety. Built-in fire extinguisher and aerogel design effectively prevent fire. Advanced self-developed Battery Management Systems (BMS) optimize the performance of each battery unit, actively balancing the load and managing charging and discharging cycles to maximize efficiency and longevity and ensure safe operation. All these contribute to virtually zero daily maintenance and reduced ownership costs.
Moreover, the 12 V/24 V LiFePO4 battery units are adaptive to varying power sources, such as solar panels, alternators, or shore power, for flexible and quick charging. Yacht owners are able to take advantage of renewable energy sources, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and having a more sustainable boating experience.
Upgrading The Marine Battery to ROYPOW Lithium
Upgrading the marine batteries to lithium-ion batteries is comparatively more expensive than the lead-acid batteries initially. Still, owners get to enjoy all the perks that come with lithium batteries, and the long-term benefits make it a worthwhile investment. To facilitate the upgrading to be more effortless, ROYPOW 12 V/24 V LiFePO4 battery packs for marine energy uses support plug-and-play, easy to install along with user-friendly user guidance and technical services.
The battery packs can work with ROYPOW’s innovative marine energy storage system. They are also compatible with other brands of inverters using the CAN connection. Whether going for the all-in-one solution or working with existing systems, choosing ROYPOW LFP battery packs, power is no longer a barrier to onboard adventure.
