Pros:
• Bluetooth enabled
• IP67 rated
• Great space saving and rugged design

Product Description:
The LoPRO combines 100Ah of LiFePO₄ capacity, Bluetooth monitoring, and a rugged marine-grade design in a package weighing only 22.5 lbs (10.2 kg). Its low-profile shape makes it particularly attractive for kayak anglers using platforms such as the Bonafide PWR 129, Native TitanX, or motorized inflatables where battery placement and weight distribution are critical.
The battery features an onboard Bluetooth-enabled Battery Management System (BMS) that connects to the Newport app, allowing users to monitor battery status, health, and performance in real time. It is also designed for easy expansion through parallel or series wiring.
