You may have heard it said that lithium batteries are inherently unsafe because if they are overcharged they can catch fire. You may have also heard it said that a certain type of lithium battery, a lithium iron phosphate battery, also known as an LiFePO4 or LFP battery, is safer. It sounds (as it should) that these statements are somewhat incompatible with each other. This short post will...

Congrats on your new purchase of an LFP battery for your trolling motor. They are light, compact, easy to care for, and offer consistent power output through the life of the charge. In addition to this, they offer many other significant benefits over lead-acid trolling marine batteries. Nonetheless, both that new LFP battery and the trolling motor itself should be cared for properly...

Lithium iron phosphate batteries, also known as LiFePO4 or simply as LFP batteries, are changing the way people think about lithium batteries. They offer potentially superior performance when compared to other lithium batteries, and are considerably safer. This short post will explain the key differences. It’s All About Lithium Battery Chemistry Unlike other lithium batteries, such as...
