RELiON debuts 36V lithium battery

RELiON Battery, a leader in the development of lithium batteries, is launching the new RB36V40, a durable, long-lasting 36V 40Ah marine lithium battery.

This is the first 36V marine battery in the brand’s product line.

“With more than 20 years of experience in the industry, RELiON continues to provide the latest and greatest in lithium battery technology,” says Eric Lindquist, VP and general manager, Power Systems at Navico Group. “Product development is a key priority, and our team of experts is dedicated to delivering innovation with unmatched power and performance. We are thrilled to round out our voltage offering with the new 36V battery and provide users with peace of mind and more time on the water.”  

The new RB36V40 lithium battery provides maximum capacity, 20 per cent more than its series equivalent, and boasts a parallel design. Improved connectors and a small Group 31 footprint are designed to make onboard installation simple. According to the developer, the battery weighs 70 per cent less than the lead-acid equivalent and the parallel setup allows for quicker, easier charging and more power in the tank when needed.

Built for the marine environment, the 36V battery includes an IP67-rated case, which is designed to repel dust and resist water ingress for up to 30 minutes submerged at one metre. It also features a new glue channel and screw-latched enclosure to protect against airborne contaminants, as well as an internal battery management system (BMS) to monitor battery health and protect against short circuits and over-charging.
