Product Description:
The Newport LoPRO 36V 50Ah delivers 1,920 watt-hours (Wh) of energy while maintaining an ultra-low-profile footprint that fits into tight spaces on kayaks, micro skiffs, and small fishing boats. Its flat, stackable design allows for flexible installation beneath seats, inside hatches, or in compartments where traditional marine batteries are difficult to accommodate.
The battery features Newport's Bluetooth-enabled Battery Management System (BMS), allowing users to monitor battery status, charge level, voltage, temperature, and overall health through the Newport mobile app. Built for marine environments, it combines lightweight construction with rugged durability and long service life.
