Although the core of fishing is still a relatively straightforward hobby, there is no doubt that it has evolved with the times. Boats are no longer just “boats”, they have become fishing gear that can dive into the depths and shallows for potentially lurking giants.

Electric ships have the advantages of environmental protection, zero pollution, safety, and low use costs. Their operating costs are significantly lower than those of diesel and LNG fueled ships. In addition, the electric ship has a simple structure, stable operation, low maintenance costs, and is more suitable for future environmental protection trends.

At present, electric ships are mainly used in the civilian field. In the future, there will be more purely electric ships operating in scenic cruise ships, passenger ships and ferries.

Electric ships need to carry a larger number of batteries, and have higher requirements on battery discharge rate, cycle, and cost.

In the selection of marine battery types, compared with lead-acid batteries, lithium iron phosphate batteries have obvious advantages in terms of safety, energy density, and cycle performance. However, lithium iron phosphate batteries are currently more used in new energy buses and energy storage. Lithium iron phosphate batteries used in electric ships will face more technical verification, although compared with lead-acid batteries, marine lithium batteries are The brine market is relatively new, but they have many advantages. Here are some top ones:

Lightweight weights with full performance and discharge capabilities make them ideal for work. Lighter weight can increase the efficiency and range of long-distance travel or wallet-conscious guides.

Lithium Marine batteries cost about four times as much as lead-acid batteries, but have a longer life. Ordinary lead-acid batteries can only be used about 300 times a day. This means you need to change it at least regularly every year.

Lithium Marine batteries need to be replaced 5000 cycles a day. This means you can drive for 13 years without needing a new battery. You can save hundreds or thousands of dollars by replacing a lead-acid battery with a Lithium Marine batteries.

In addition, lithium batteries can better retain energy when not in use. In contrast, lithium batteries lose about 2% of their stored energy each month when they are idle. Lead-acid batteries lose nearly 20% of their power, so their energy storage efficiency is greatly reduced.

Because lead-acid batteries lose power so quickly, you must make sure that you charge the boat every time. Lithium Marine batteries also charge faster than lead-acid batteries.

Not only do they excel in the performance department, they are also maintenance-free, which means you don’t have to worry about the inevitable salt penetrating into the console of the ship (let’s face the salt fog everywhere after a long journey).

As far as specific applications are concerned, lithium batteries are currently only used on a small number of hybrid ships, and it is difficult to achieve full lithium-ionization for medium and large ships of more than 5,000 tons.

As technology continues to advance, it is important to consider your future needs. Investing in a system that can provide years of power is not only good for your boat, it also ensures the best safety and security. If there is any consistent factor in spending time on the water, it is that things will break, and Murphy’s Law is very real. Reduce that potential and invest your passion.

The data shows that the lithium ionization penetration rate of electric ships in 2019, 2022 and 2025 is calculated according to 0.035%, 0.55% and 18.5%. As of 2025, the market for lithium batteries for electric ships will reach 35.41GWh.
