Pros:
• Bluetooth enabled
• IP67 rated
• On the smaller end for 48V Batteries of this capacity
Cons:
• Expensive
• Requires compression lugs and special cable
• Dimensions, while flatter than standard batteries, is much wider and does not fit in typical group 24 or 31 sized battery boxes. Must be placed under seat, or under kayak crate.
Product Description:
The LoPRO 48V 70Ah delivers 48 volts and 70 amp-hours (about 3,360Wh of energy) in a single integrated lithium pack, eliminating the need for multiple wired batteries in a 48V system.
Its defining feature is its ultra-low-profile, square form factor, designed to fit under seats, inside shallow compartments, or tight boat layouts where traditional battery banks would take up too much space.
It includes a Bluetooth-enabled Battery Management System (BMS) for real-time monitoring of:
State of charge
Voltage and current draw
Battery temperature
Health and diagnostics
Some versions also include a dedicated communication port for Newport NT600 systems, enabling real-time runtime and range data directly from compatible motors.
