The Seahorse™GPS Lithium Batteries are now available. Designed to cope with the massive current draws experienced in the Seahorse Kontiki and using similar technology as used in your cellphone battery, Lithium Batteries are a valid alternative to the standard SLA batteries.
We use the Lithium battery as a replacement for the SLA 14ah battery, and they can be used either in the Seahorse Kontiki's or on the winch.
The advantages of Lithium batteries are many, including only weighing 1.5kg's, compared to 4.5kg's for the 14ah SLA battery, saving 3kg's of weight.
They deliver their full 10ah's of power, where the SLA batteries only deliver slightly better that half of their rated amp hours, when used in the Kontiki unit.
They hold their charge, and can be left either charged or discharged.
A SLA battery will give up to 200 cycles before they fall to 60% of their original performance, while a Lithium battery will do 2000 cycles before reaching the same point.
Being light weight, the Lithium battery is a great alternative to powering your electronics in kayaks, 3kg's less weight to paddle around.
In the Seahorse Kontiki's the Lithium battery needs to be coupled with a SLA battery, as the Kontiki's are designed for the weight of the SLA batteries.
The Lithium battery can be used with a 8ah SLA battery in the STD Seahorse Kontiki's giving close to 30 minutes run time, and is used with the larger 14ah SLA battery in the GPS Seahorse, giving over 30 minutes run time.
Unless you already have a Seahorse Lithium Charger, please order the battery with a charger.
PLEASE NOTE
Lithium Batteries require a specialised Lithium charger. Using a normal battery charger will damage the battery, and could cause it to explode.
Unless you already have a Seahorse Lithium Charger, please order the battery with a charger.
Lithium batteries, like other batteries are not waterproof, and will suffer damage if submerged.
This type of damage is NOT COVERED under warranty.
