Product Overview The Baintech BTMARINELITH24/100 is a 24V 100Ah LiFePO4 lithium battery specifically engineered for marine applications. Unlike standard 12V batteries adapted for boats, this purpose-built 24V system delivers the higher voltage required by serious marine electrical systems including bow thrusters, windlasses, large inverters, and professional navigation equipment. The 2560Wh energy capacity provides substantial power for extended time on the water without shore power or generator operation. Built around A-grade prismatic LiFePO4 cells with marine-specific construction, this battery handles the unique challenges of marine environments: constant vibration from wave action and engine operation, potential water exposure, salt air corrosion, extreme temperature cycling, and the deep discharge/recharge cycles common to boats operating away from shore power. The integrated BMS provides protection against over-discharge, overcharge, over-current, and temperature extremes while supporting parallel and series configuration for scaled power systems. The 100A continuous discharge capability powers high-draw marine equipment including electric propulsion systems, large inverters for household appliances, bow thrusters for docking, and windlasses for anchor operation. The matching 100A charge current accepts rapid charging from high-output alternators, shore power chargers, or solar arrays when you're at anchor. Suitable for sailing yachts, motor cruisers, liveaboard vessels, fishing boats, and any marine application requiring reliable 24V power with the weight savings and longevity advantages of lithium technology. Key Specifications Nominal voltage: 25.6V (24V system) Capacity: 100Ah Energy capacity: 2560Wh Cell type: LiFePO4 A-grade prismatic cells Cut-off voltage: 20V Maximum continuous discharge current: 100A Maximum charging current: 100A per battery Charging mode: CC/CV (Constant Current/Constant Voltage) Charging voltage range: 28.4V–29.2V Standby/float voltage: 26.6V–26.8V (fully charged) Operating temperature: -20°C to +60°C Parallel configuration: Up to 4 units supported Series configuration: Up to 2 units supported (48V maximum) Construction: Marine-grade design for harsh environments Chemistry: LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) Features & Benefits Purpose-Built 24V Marine System: Engineered specifically for 24V marine electrical systems common on sailing yachts, motor cruisers, and larger vessels. The 24V architecture reduces current draw by half compared to equivalent 12V systems, allowing smaller cable sizes, reduced voltage drop, and more efficient operation of high-power equipment like bow thrusters, windlasses, and large inverters. Critical for vessels with substantial electrical demands. 100Ah / 2560Wh Substantial Capacity: The 100Ah capacity at 24V delivers 2560Wh of usable energy—enough to run a 3000W inverter at full load for nearly an hour, or power typical boat house loads (refrigeration, lighting, navigation electronics, autopilot) for 24+ hours between charges. The high energy density of LiFePO4 chemistry provides this capacity in a package far lighter and more compact than equivalent AGM or flooded lead-acid banks. 100A Discharge for High-Power Marine Equipment: The 100A continuous discharge capability powers demanding marine equipment including bow thrusters (typically 50–80A draw), electric windlasses (40–60A under load), large inverters for household appliances, and electric propulsion systems. Unlike lead-acid batteries that suffer voltage sag under high loads, lithium maintains stable voltage throughout the discharge cycle for consistent equipment performance. 100A Rapid Charge Acceptance: The 100A maximum charge current accepts rapid charging from high-output marine alternators (common on diesel auxiliary engines), shore power battery chargers, or large solar arrays. This fast charge acceptance means shorter engine running time, quicker turnaround at marina berths, and the ability to recover battery capacity during day-sailing via solar before anchoring for the night. Marine-Hardened Construction: Purpose-built for the marine environment with construction addressing constant vibration from wave action, potential water exposure, salt air corrosion, and extreme temperature cycling from engine rooms to overnight lows. The robust housing and cell mounting system prevents internal damage from the pounding of rough seas, while corrosion-resistant materials withstand the aggressive marine atmosphere. A-Grade Prismatic LiFePO4 Cells: Uses premium A-grade prismatic cells for reliability and longevity. Prismatic cells offer better space efficiency than cylindrical cells and superior thermal management compared to pouch cells. LiFePO4 chemistry provides the safest lithium technology, critical for marine applications where battery failures can have serious safety implications at sea. Scalable with Parallel and Series Configuration: Supports up to 4 batteries in parallel for increased capacity (400Ah total at 24V), or 2 batteries in series for 48V systems common on larger vessels with 48V inverters and motor systems. This scalability allows the power system to grow with vessel electrical demands without replacing the entire battery bank. Wide Temperature Operation: Functions from -20°C to +60°C, handling both winter sailing in cold climates and extreme heat in engine rooms or tropical conditions. The temperature range ensures reliable operation regardless of season or geographical cruising area. Critical for liveaboard cruisers operating year-round in diverse climates. Intelligent BMS Protection: The integrated Battery Management System monitors and protects against over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, over-temperature, and short-circuit conditions. Cell balancing ensures all cells charge and discharge evenly, maximizing battery lifespan. The BMS cutoff at 20V prevents deep discharge damage while the controlled charging voltage (28.4–29.2V) prevents overcharge. Long Cycle Life Lithium Advantage: LiFePO4 chemistry delivers 3000–5000 cycles (typical for quality marine lithium), vastly outlasting the 300–500 cycles of lead-acid alternatives. For cruising vessels cycling daily or liveaboards with regular deep discharge cycles, lithium batteries pay for themselves through longevity while eliminating the maintenance burden of flooded lead-acid systems.

Frequently Asked Questions What's the advantage of 24V over 12V for marine systems? 24V systems reduce current draw by half for the same power, allowing smaller cable sizes, less voltage drop over long cable runs, and more efficient operation of high-power equipment. For example, a 2000W inverter draws 85A at 24V versus 170A at 12V—the 24V system needs half the cable size and experiences far less voltage drop, particularly important on boats with long cable runs from battery to equipment. Can I charge this with my existing 24V lead-acid charger? Only if your charger supports lithium charging profiles. Lithium batteries require specific voltage parameters (28.4–29.2V for this battery) and charge termination based on current taper, not just voltage. Lead-acid chargers that go to higher voltages (30V+) or use equalization cycles will damage lithium batteries. Use a lithium-compatible marine battery charger or verify your existing charger's compatibility. How many batteries do I need for typical liveaboard power needs? Typical liveaboard consumption is 100–200Ah daily at 24V. One 100Ah battery provides one day's autonomy, two batteries (200Ah) provide two days, etc. Most cruising sailors install 200–400Ah (2–4 batteries in parallel) to handle 2–3 days without charging, accounting for the 80% depth of discharge recommendation and reserve capacity for cloudy periods affecting solar charging. Will this battery work with my bow thruster? Yes, provided your bow thruster is designed for 24V operation and draws less than 100A continuous. Most 24V bow thrusters draw 50–80A under load, well within this battery's 100A continuous rating. However, verify your thruster's specifications—some larger thrusters may have brief peak draws exceeding 100A, which would require multiple batteries in parallel. What's the weight savings versus lead-acid? An equivalent 100Ah 24V lead-acid bank (typically requiring two 12V 200Ah batteries wired in series for comparable usable capacity) weighs 100–120kg. A single lithium marine battery typically weighs 25–35kg, saving 70–90kg. This weight reduction high in the boat improves stability and reduces displacement, particularly significant on sailing yachts where every kilogram matters.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions What's the advantage of 36V over 24V for marine applications? 36V systems further reduce current draw—a 3000W inverter draws 85A at 36V versus 130A at 24V, allowing even smaller cables and less voltage drop. This is particularly advantageous for electric propulsion where efficiency gains translate directly to extended range. Many modern electric trolling motors and pod drives are optimized for 36V operation, delivering better thrust efficiency and longer runtime than lower-voltage equivalents. Can I use this battery with my 36V Minn Kota trolling motor? Yes, this battery is specifically suited for 36V trolling motors from Minn Kota, MotorGuide, and other manufacturers. The 100A discharge capability handles the high current draws of electric propulsion, while the stable lithium voltage maintains consistent thrust throughout the discharge cycle unlike lead-acid voltage sag. Verify your trolling motor's maximum current draw is within 100A continuous rating. How does 3840Wh compare to traditional lead-acid capacity? An equivalent lead-acid system providing comparable usable capacity would require three 12V 200Ah batteries wired in series (36V), weighing 80–120kg total versus this single 27kg lithium battery. Lead-acid batteries also suffer voltage sag under load and should only be discharged to 50%, meaning you'd need 200Ah lead-acid to match 100Ah lithium's usable capacity. The lithium advantage is dramatic for 36V systems. Can I charge this with solar panels? Yes, using a 36V-compatible MPPT solar charge controller rated for the 42.6V–43.8V charging voltage and up to 100A output (for full-rate charging). Most marine solar installations use 12V or 24V panels in series to achieve the required voltage. Consult a marine solar specialist for proper panel configuration and controller selection for 36V systems. Why can't this battery be connected in series? The BMS and construction are designed for single-unit operation or parallel configuration only (up to 4 units). Series connection would create 72V+ systems requiring different BMS coordination and safety considerations. For higher voltages, Baintech offers dedicated high-voltage marine batteries. The 4-unit parallel capability (400Ah at 36V = 15,360Wh) provides massive capacity without series complexity.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions How does 200Ah compare to 150Ah for extended trips? The 200Ah capacity provides 33% more energy (2560Wh vs 1920Wh), translating to approximately 1.3× longer runtime between charges. For extended remote travel (7–14 days), the 200Ah battery provides greater autonomy and reduces reliance on solar recharging during cloudy weather. The weight penalty is only 4kg (21.5kg vs 17.5kg) for the substantial capacity increase. Choose 200Ah for extended expeditions, full-time living, or when oversized capacity provides peace of mind. Can this battery power a caravan air conditioner? The 200A discharge supports inverters up to 2400W continuous, sufficient for smaller caravan air conditioners with soft-start technology (typically 1500–2000W running). However, air conditioners draw sustained high current—a 2000W air conditioner running for 2 hours depletes approximately 40% of the battery. For regular air conditioning use, consider pairing with substantial solar charging (400W+) or generator backup, or install multiple 200Ah batteries in parallel. What's the advantage of the 4S/2P cell configuration? The 4S/2P configuration uses two parallel cell strings, each handling 100A at full 200A discharge. This parallel arrangement reduces stress on individual cells, improves thermal management (heat distributed across more cells), extends cycle life, and enables the high 200A continuous discharge rating. Single-string batteries (1P) at 200Ah would stress cells more heavily, reducing lifespan and limiting safe discharge rates. How many solar panels do I need to recharge this battery? At 100A recommended charge rate, you need approximately 1300W of solar (100A × 13V charging voltage). In practice, 600–800W of solar provides 50–60A charging during peak sun (5–6 hours per day), recharging the battery from 20% to 100% in one day of good sun. For faster recharging or cloudy-weather contingency, install 800–1000W of panels. Always use an MPPT controller rated for the panel wattage and 100A+ output. Can I connect two 200Ah batteries in parallel for 400Ah? Check Baintech documentation for parallel connection guidelines. If supported, two 200Ah batteries in parallel provide 400Ah total capacity (5120Wh total energy), suitable for off-grid cabins, full-time caravan living, or extended remote expeditions. Ensure batteries are at similar state of charge before paralleling, use identical models/ages for best results, and install appropriate fusing on each battery's parallel connection.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions What does 3-pole mean for battery switching? Three-pole switches control three separate circuits simultaneously. In dual battery systems, this typically isolates starter positive, starter negative and auxiliary circuits with one switch operation. This provides more comprehensive control than 2-pole switches that may leave ground connections active. What is contour mounting? Contour mounting installs flush with panel surfaces without protruding handles. The switch mechanism sits behind the panel with only the operating control visible from the front, creating clean appearance and eliminating snag hazards compared to traditional rotary battery switches. Can this handle high-current starter motor loads? Current ratings are not specified. Battery master switches typically handle continuous accessory loads but may not be rated for sustained starter motor cranking current (200-400A). Verify current specifications match your application before purchase, especially for high-load circuits. Does this replace the battery isolator in dual battery systems? No, battery isolators manage charging between multiple batteries while running. Master switches provide manual ON/OFF control for storage, maintenance and emergencies. Both components serve different functions in dual battery systems. Can I leave this in the OFF position during boat storage? Yes, that's the primary function. The OFF position isolates all circuits to eliminate parasitic battery drain during storage periods, preventing dead batteries when returning to the vessel after weeks or months.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.

A: Yes, you can connect solar panels with different wattages in parallel using this Y cable, however there are important considerations. When connecting dissimilar panels in parallel, the system voltage is determined by the panel with lower voltage (panels will equilibrate to lowest voltage in parallel), while currents add together. For optimal performance, panels should have similar voltage ratings (typically 18-20V for standard 12V panels). Significant voltage mismatches can result in reduced efficiency as higher-voltage panel operates below optimal point. Current ratings can differ—system simply adds currents from both panels. For example, connecting 100W panel (5.5A) and 150W panel (8.3A) in parallel produces approximately 13.8A total current. Generally, parallel configuration more forgiving of panel mismatches than series configuration, but for best performance and efficiency, using similar panels recommended. If significant panel differences exist, consult solar system specialist to determine optimal configuration for your specific situation. Q: Do I need to install a fuse, and if so, what size should it be? A: Yes, fuse or circuit breaker installation is strongly recommended and represents electrical safety best practice. The fuse should be rated at or below the cable's 40 amp maximum capacity and should be installed as close to the power source (battery or charge controller) as practical. For most typical applications using this Y cable (such as connecting two moderate-draw accessories or solar panels), a 30-40 amp fuse provides appropriate protection. The fuse rating should exceed the expected normal operating current but not exceed the cable's 40 amp capacity. For example, if connecting two devices drawing 10 amps each (20 amps total), a 30 amp fuse provides safety margin above normal operation while protecting against fault conditions. The fuse protects the cable and connected equipment from damage if short circuit or severe overload occurs, interrupting the circuit before cable overheats preventing potential fire hazard. Never operate this cable without appropriate circuit protection—the small investment in proper fuse or breaker provides critical electrical safety protection. Q: Can I use this cable to connect devices in series instead of parallel? A: No, this Y cable is designed specifically for parallel connection configuration and should not be used for series connections. The Y cable physical wiring creates parallel topology where positive connects to positive and negative connects to negative across all three connectors maintaining constant voltage while currents divide. Series connection requires different wiring topology where positive of one device connects to negative of next device creating voltage addition configuration. Attempting to use this parallel Y cable for series connection would not achieve desired series configuration and could create short circuit or incorrect voltage conditions potentially damaging connected equipment. If series connection is required (such as connecting 12V panels to create 24V system), different cable configuration or individual cables with proper series wiring must be used. Always use parallel Y cable exclusively for parallel applications maintaining proper electrical topology and system safety. Q: What is the difference between connecting solar panels in parallel versus series? A: Parallel and series represent different electrical connection topologies with distinct characteristics. Parallel connection (what this Y cable provides): voltage remains constant (same as individual panel voltage), current adds together (total current equals sum of individual panel currents), suited for maintaining system voltage while increasing charging capacity, more tolerant of shading (shaded panel affects only its current contribution, not entire string), and compatible with standard 12V battery charging. Series connection: voltage adds together (two 12V panels create 24V output), current remains constant (limited to lowest panel current), suited for increasing voltage (such as 24V or 48V systems), requires all panels receive similar light (shading one panel significantly impacts entire string), and often used in higher-voltage systems or to overcome voltage drop in long cable runs. For typical 12V caravan/camping solar systems, parallel connection using Y cable like BTA2AP0.5 represents common approach increasing charging capacity while maintaining 12V voltage compatible with standard 12V batteries and charge controllers. Q: Can I connect more than two devices by using multiple Y cables together? A: Yes, multiple Y cables can be connected together to create distribution systems serving more than two devices, however important considerations apply. Each additional Y cable adds connection points but also adds resistance and potential voltage drop. The total current through any single cable section must not exceed 40 amp capacity—when adding multiple devices, ensure cumulative current draw through any cable segment remains within safe limits. For example, if three devices each draw 10 amps, the cable section nearest the battery carries 30 amps (within capacity), but adding a fourth device would exceed safe limits requiring different distribution approach. For systems requiring multiple device connections, purpose-built distribution blocks or fused distribution panels often provide superior solution offering: individual circuit protection per device, lower resistance connections, easier troubleshooting, and more organized electrical architecture. While connecting multiple Y cables technically possible, evaluate total system current requirements ensuring all cable sections operate within rated capacity and consider if proper distribution block represents better long-term solution for multi-device systems.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers When you choose Frankies BrandBeast, you're choosing quality and performance.
