Did you know that you can use Lithium Batteries in Minn Kota boat motors?

Lithium batteries have a lot of great benefits – they’re safe, much, much lighter than a lead-acid equivalent, have a long life, constant power and are fast and safe to charge. One single lithium battery does the job for several 12v batteries which you’d need for a 12v, 24v or 36v electric outboard installation. Whilst they are more expensive than a lead acid battery, the benefit of having only one battery to wire up for a 24v or 36v installation instead of 2 or 3 far outweighs the additional cost. The space saving and greatly reduced weight in the boat are all massive considerations and advantages as well.

Minn Kota offers a wide range of electric boat motors for freshwater or saltwater conditions. Electric boat motors by Minn Kota are available in different strengths (measured in pounds thrust), different shaft lengths for different sized boats, as well as bow mount, transom mount and engine mount – and you can buy them online here 

The best electric boat motors for Australia’s conditions are the saltwater “Riptide” range by Minn Kota. They have fully encapsulated electronics, sacrificial anodes and indestructible composite shafts which are impervious to the corrosive effects of saltwater. They’re lightweight, easy to use and with a lithium battery they provide constant, reliable power for your boat.
