Battery Options
Battery Types
Choosing the right battery type can help you get the best performance from your electric motor. Here’s a quick guide to the main options.

A traditional and budget-friendly option for powering electric motors. Built for repeated discharge and recharge, but generally heavier and requires a little more care with charging and maintenance.
Deep Cycle – AGM
A sealed, maintenance-free lead acid battery that’s well suited to boating conditions. AGM batteries offer good vibration resistance, reliable deep-cycle performance and no need to top up electrolyte.
Lithium
A lightweight, high-performance option that delivers more usable capacity and consistent power as the battery discharges. Lithium batteries also recharge quickly and typically offer a longer cycle life.
